“Story of Flowers” by James Paulley and Katie Scott

London animator James Paulley and illustrator Katie Scott reteam to craft an exquisitely dense and detailed animated exploration of the life cycle of flowers to accompany an installation by Japanese artist Azuma Makoto.

James Paulley: “A launch event at the Ark Hills South Tower Roof Garden in Tokyo presented the work alongside Azuma’s exquisite sculptures, giving children the opportunity to get lost in the Story of Flowers.”
