Plant Life



We reserve places to walk through nature, and reserve places to destroy it. We inherently protect bits and pieces of it while we naturally battle against its confines. Our relationship with plants enlivens our senses by creating endless experiences and questions. We connect with their textures, patterns, and fragrances; we are shaded from the sun by them, while we eat their leaves.



Plant Life gives the viewer a physical, visual and, auditory connection with nature. A pathway made of dirt leads the viewer to a few drawings, the first of which are lushly exaggerated representations of nature. Further along the path lies a portrait of Dede, an Indonesian who has been dubbed Tree-man due to his curse of having bark-like warts grow all over his body. Individual soundscapes, reworked from Stevie Wonders Album Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants, spread throughout the space and pay tribute to natures persistent melodic hum.



Plant Life is an art show which can be seen, felt, and listened to.
