2026 Art In in Bloom
Linda Laake Designs
The Janitor by Duane Hanson

Design Statement:
As “Janitor” invites a closeup doubletake, my floral design asks for consideration of the textural details of common flowers with new eyes. Like people, the hardest workers are often underappreciated. Grouping like blooms together creates individual focal points; and color blocking brings cohesion and movement across the whole form.

alstromeria, amaranthus, baby's breath (gypsophila), carnation (dianthus), delphinium, eucalyptus, statice (limonium), rose (rosa), thistle (eryngium)

Look inside my janitor's mop bucket! Like the sculpture, my bucket is from several decades ago and has been well-loved. Inside, it is very rusty. I used an assortment of plastic containers and styrofoam to prop up a plastic bucket inside, which actually holds the flowers. I used a smaller tray to bring blooms up to the top of the mop ringer.

Art In Bloom is coming up! April 16-19

Here is a little sampling of my brainstorming and the art piece I am using as inspiration. The Janitor by Duane Hanson is one of, if not THE, most iconic pieces in the Milwaukee Art Museum. Anyone who's been there remembers first seeing the very life-like sculpture and wondering if it was a real person or an art exhibit.

Like the sculpture, I want my floral piece to celebrate the hardworking and underappreciated; inviting a closer, more thoughtful, look at something familiar.
