Love for our local planet
This artwork represents the continual growth cycles and flow of the natural environment. It contrasts rigid geometry with organic movement and floral elements, both painted and real, as a celebration of life cycle and the impacts and relationship we have with our planet. Creating the piece in an abandoned location further adds to the story of growth and decay and the artwork was informed by the existing plant regrowth and urban decay as well as using wood and other materials found on site in the artwork itself.
