Are Your Petunias Actually Transgenic? (#2) (Jerwood Space, London)
2011 - 2012

For the Terra project I elaborated on the installation 'Are Your Petunias Actually Transgenic?' The animation 'Blind Petunias' is screened using two projections. A new animation is added to this installation displayed using a vertical projection. Seven beech tree trunks with plaster sculpted fungal growths create a conceptual landscape. The budding growths are the projection surface for the growing Petunias. The wood is sourced from Grizedale Forest.
