First some notes on artists whom use growth in their practice
An artist I have previously mentioned
Garforth uses moss amongst other things as an alternative process of typography.
The work above she constructed into a small derelict area that was about to be knocked down to be renovated into flats, but Garforth snuck in first to leave them a little message.
I like the use of the moss, and am intrigued as to how first she managed to construct it and secondly as to how she sourced the moss.
I was earlier intrigued by this prospect of growing my own moss, a seemingly relatively easy process, involving blending together beer and a little moss before spraying it onto the desired surface, but a lengthily one, taking up to two seasons to grow.
Unfortunately time is currently not on my side,
Another artist of intrigue
whom by leaving pots in certain areas, lets nature determine the final outcome for him.
The pots he creates are very porous white ceramic vases, therefore allowing for mosses and other organic growths to colonize upon the surface, letting natures natural patterns to take hold.
Once again absolutely beautiful results and an incredibly intriguing idea but a lengthily process.
As for my exhibition
I want to play with the preservation of the dandelion, with the influx of an edit of Pollen.
Preserving that, that you assume to be a weed,
