I went to meet Professor Simon Hisock at the University of Bristol this week to talk about how I might develop work further, inspired by the Botanic Garden. He was very helpful: we discussed the amazing, magical science of how plants turn carbon dioxide into food, and I think this could be a route deeper into the world of botany. (I might think it’s magic, of course physicists might not).
Setting forth in the spirit of purposeful ambuguity I’m hoping that the cubes will eventually attain objecthood. They should last longer than my laser etched haikus on plywood that came out of the Botanic Garden at the end of November. After six months exposed to sun and rain they now quietly rot on my balcony. No longer existing in their site- specific places.
