This comparisom shows the slow but steady growth of the air plants. The left photo taken in 2013. The right photo 2015 at an exhibition at the WADAMBUK ARTSPACE, St Andrews, Victoria, Australia where it was moved from outdoors and  exhibited inside  for 2 months. Note how the plants indoors become greener, this is because the plant produces more trichome cells outdoors which reflect the sun's light.

Air garden five installed July 2013 - QueensbridgePedestrian precinct, Northbank ,of the Yarra River, Melbourne. The work is located on the fenced boundary between the public concourse and Platform 10 at Swanson St Station - intentionally the site is a difficult location to install living plants. The series of rotating air gardens extend between 8 existing lighting columns from SIGNAL towards Swanson St. As an urban concourse with high daily foot traffic, this is an area of significance to the inner city environment.

proposal - photo mock up of Airborne, a series of rotating gardens for Melbourne City Council, the proposal has been accepted and will be installed 2013
