Hybridize- 2007 >>

A project in progress - This is a very long term project, with unpredictable results - as an extension of the Classification work - the concept is to cross-pollinate some of my Bromeliad collection, germinate and then grow the seed on to maturity over 4 -5 years, observe what eventuates and then name the new hybrids after fossil fuel machines - this also becomes a link to the Plant Room

Planet II - 2006

- a large steel dish with a map of the earth with Australia in the centre cut into it projects a shadow onto the ground where a similar map is grown into the grass. During the course of a day, the shadow of the first moves across intersecting the other.

Source - 2005

- Source consists of a suspended table and chairs with a data projection of the time lapse sequence on the table - the work raises issues of the source of our food, vulnerability and sustainability. Curated by Tony Trembath for ephemeral sculpture in Nilumbik.

Timed Lapse - 2005

- the first interactive work where the audience photograph themselves through plants growing. The work also explores ideas of time and aging. Curated by Dan Talley for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Ga, Atlanta, USA

@ the Speed of Light - 2002

- a continuation of experiments with plants, photosynthesis and self developing photograms, it is a progression form an earlier work Disturbance in the Field

Disturbance in the Field

- the first self developing photogram work where the shadow of a plant projects onto a sheet of photographic paper and develops over the duration of the exhibition.

Light

- 1998 - the first light projection installation with Bromeliad Plants

Classification -

1998 - installation of Tillandsia air plants in a museum case

Plant Room -

1997 - Installation of Bromeliads in the Plant Room (boiler house) at the Otago Polytechnic which contains 3 coal burning furnaces for heating the building complex.

enLIGHTen - 1999

an interactive installation with seven infrared activated projectors and suspended Bromeliad plants that throw shadows onto the large (7.5m long x 3.5m high) tissue paper screens. The work is a progression of the LIGHT installation.

implant -

1999 - an installation of Bromeliad plants on a mannequin, a woman and a skeleton. The work is a progression of the LIFT installation

LIFT - 1999

- an installation of Bromeliad Plants in a Lift. The work is a progression of earlier experiments with plants like Classification

Photosynthesis - 1996 -

involved masking off areas of Bromeliad plants and exposing them for months to sunlight which created bionically imprinted symbols on the living tissue of the leaves - the resulting bio image survives as a photograph.
