Su/spend - experimental living plant work based on the principle of super sustainability. Super - sustainable art practice is where the practice and work produces a greater environmental and or organic output than the work consumes. Lloyd is experimenting with living suspended tillandsia sculptures that grow with minimal water in hot and dry climates. The only maintenance required is the trimming the new growth which provides more material from further work. |

Carbon Obscura III - part of enLIGHTen - a survey - Burrinja Gallery - the third work in an interactive light series exploring the relationship between sunlight, trees the process of photosynthesis and CO2. Fog is produced by the audience which manifests the streaming beams of sunlight penetrating thousands on pinholes used to draw the forms of trees. |

Timed Lapse II - part of enLIGHTen - a survey - Burrinja Gallery - the second interactive work where the audience photograph themselves through plants growing in a large museum case - the images are then projected as a time lapse sequence where the plants grow and die - The work also explores ideas of displacement of native forests to provide food. |

2008 |
Source II - part of enLIGHTen - a survey - Burrinja Gallery - the second work from this series, 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 food source vulnerability and sustainability. |

Balance - part of - enLIGHTen - a survey - Burrinja Gallery - this interactive suggests issues of sustainability and balance- the work consists of a double ended tree root suspended from the ceiling - as the audience steps forward to view the work a dim ultra blue light is projected onto the work through a glass filter. The audience also triggers a small water pump that pumps water from a restive through a transparent chamber and over the blue filter causing a flickering of the projected light. |

enLIGHTen II - part of enLIGHTen - a survey - Burrinja Gallery - this interactive projection work explores the light spectrum, and the process of photosynthesis, through a collection of epiphytic bromeliads suspended from the ceiling. As the audience moves through the space they trigger sensors that switch on and off seven projectors, each with a different coloured filter creating overlapping shadow patterns on large tissue paper screens that enclose the space. |

de Lumière - the second work in an interactive light series exploring the relationship between sunlight, trees the process of photosynthesis and CO2. Fog is produced by the audience which manifests the streaming beams of sunlight penetrating thousands on pinholes used to draw the forms of trees. From a residency at L'Arbre de Vie / Chateau de Blacons, France |

Carbon Obscura - the second work in an interactive light series exploring the relationship between sunlight, trees the process of photosynthesis and CO2. Fog is produced by the audience which manifests the streaming beams of sunlight penetrating thousands on pinholes used to draw the forms of trees. Curated by Tony Trembath as part of Structure space and Place. |

Conversations
with Trees - a series of cyanotype photogram prints. Eyeless figures juxtaposed against leafless trees raise issues of lack of understanding and "dialogue" between people and trees. |

Equivalence - a series of mixed media works (pigment prints and charcoal drawings) on the new growth after a fire at Wilsons Prom, provides a stimulating environment to explore the relationship between the process of photosynthesis and carbon. |

Planet
II - 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. The work suggests the earth is a large photosynthetic image. |

Source I - the second work from this series, 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 - the first interactive work where the audience photograph themselves through plants growing in a large museum case - the images are then projected as a time lapse sequence where the plants grow and die - 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 - An interactive work where shadows of epiphytic bromeliads self develop onto a grid of photographic paper through the action of light during the period of the exhibition, @ the Speed of Light references our relationship to light and the process of photosynthesis. |

Disturbance
in the Field - The first interactive work where a shadow of an epiphytic bromeliad self develop onto a grid of photographic paper through the action of light during the period of the exhibition, the work references our relationship to light and the process of photosynthesis and our intervention in the environment. |

Lake
Fill II - the second performance work to mark the first filling of Lake Dunstan. The work was a response to Last Rivers Song 10 years earlier and explores the idea of the human body as part of a larger earth circuit - it utilizes found brass artifacts to create a circuit that triggered an underwater camera to document the last vista up the river that disappeared during the work. |
