The exhibition examines the connection between people and plants. The artist speculates about how this connection will affect the future of plants and their evolution.
The exhibition includes: large scale and small graph drawings – similar to the work of botanists; real dried plants and 3D printed sculptures.
I attended the exhibition on 17/11/15. The exhibition was accompanied by a workshop with the artist.
I had never seen art like this before. It explored an unusual theme and showed real plants juxtaposed against very delicate sculptures depicting evolved future plants. The artist used a mixture of science and art.
I liked the delicacy of the sculptures and the clever use of 3D printing. I would recommend visiting the exhibition as it was interesting. It made me think about our impact on nature.
During the workshop, we created a mural of a landscape containing real and imagined plants. I learnt that 3D printing can be used to create fragile objects of beauty, as well as practical objects.
A very interesting article :)
