'when the bloom has gone away, and sky has turned blue black grey, then the reaper comes the way'
the bloom reaper was my entry into 'blooming art 2016' in bunbury, western australia. artists are invited to select an artwork from the city collection and produce a blooming art piece based on the chosen artwork. 'blue black landscape' by basil hadley was my choice. the reaper features black roses and was voted first place by the public. as the winner i am invited to compete next year
