Generating Plant
2004
by Sonja van Kerkhoff + Sen McGlinn

In response to the theme of the show, we decided to make a hommage to nature and in particular to the plant world. Inside each hole are images of plant kingdoms.
|
However the Generating Plant was more than just a display of the magic of the plant worlds. Texts under the transparent roof informed us of how clever plants had adapted to solve problems of the human world.
