FLORAL DESIGN PRINCIPLE
SPACE
The space around a design
takes in the three dimensions.The space within a design also
has to be considered.
Space can be enclosed as when you use great twirls of vines, or boundless as a twig may lead your eye off out of the design.Therefore there are spaces in the design, and space around the design.
Space is defined by the solid plant material we put into a design and therefore a space can be totally surrounded by solid material. A line of vine, leaf etc can also create a space without totally enclosing it.
Spaces have weight visually.The more closed a space is, the more weight it has, and this must be considered when contemplating balance of a design

Why bother?
Because space is
three dimensional, use your plant material to create a 3D
design, so your design's back is not flat and you have a 360
degree effect
Enclose space
Great swirls of
tortured willow, a bundle of reeds curving through a large
design, rolls of aspidistra, astelia, flax or other
long leaves all can be manipulated to create
space.
Sheltering to add space
An anthurium leaf or two above a design acting like a
little umbrella can add space to the top of a
design.
Boundless space
Create space with a lichen covered twig.The design,
without this, would have been flat and 2 dimensional.
space can add width
In the same workshop the designer used barbed wire to create enclosed
space to gve the design more width.
weight in space
The more solid a design appears the more weight it has. By having space between these grape vines which were wound around a wire cone, this visual weight was much lighter.
space in a loop
A loop of cane or vine will add depth to a design as it encloses space and adds balance.
