# Shredded Flower Installations Artist Gyun Hur Creates Astounding Large-Scale Patterns By Meghan Young | Published 2013-04-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gyun-hur References: [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2013/04/18/the-shredded-flower-petal-landscapes-of-gyun-hurs-installations/) & [gyunhur](http://gyunhur.com/) At first glance, especially when viewed from afar, people may mistake the work of Gyun Hur for large-scale paintings. That is because what they really are constructed out of is something incredibly unorthodox. Made out of shredded [artificial flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cj-hendrys-flower-market) that end up taking the form of [colorful dust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom), the relatively simple works take on a whole new meaning. Based in Atlanta, Gyun Hur artfully arranges her materials as though they were still flowers. Of course, instead of bouquets, Gyun Hur shapes them into [minimalist, geometric patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-exhibition). Equipped with tweezers, masking tape, and a ruthlessly meticulous attention to detail, Gyun Hur writes, "Narratives of labor, loss, and place are vital elements in [these] constructions [...]. Through the menial process of making, [choice] collections of found objects transform into a poignant residuum of the past and the present." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.5/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Shredded Flower Installations:** Opportunity for artists to explore unconventional materials and create large-scale patterns. - **Minimalist Geometric Art:** Potential for artists to experiment with simple shapes and precise arrangements for impactful artworks. - **Narrative-based Artworks:** Artists can use found objects and materials to tell stories and evoke emotions in their creations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can explore innovative techniques and materials to create unique and thought-provoking artworks. - **Floral Industry:** Opportunity for floral businesses to expand their offerings by incorporating shredded flowers into creative installations and designs. - **Event Planning and Decor:** Event planners and decorators can incorporate shredded flower installations to add a unique and visually stunning element to events and venues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Blooming Clustered Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/structural-botany.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Mirrored Flower Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflecting-diverseness.md) - [Textile Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olga-de-amaral.md) - [Biology-Inspired Porcelain Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shiyuan-xu.md) - [Large-Scale Pink-Fabric Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-hibiscus.md) - [Intricate Fiber Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threadwork-women-redefining-fiber-arts.md) - [Breathtaking Woven Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-installation.md) - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md)
