Plant Perception

2014, 65' x 12' x 7', Plastic debris, paint, hardware

Plant Perception was commissioned by Noble Energy in Houston, TX. In this piece, I was thinking about how plants grow in the direction that is most beneficial to them as opposed to growing in self destructive directions as humans often do. Plant Perception reflects my interest in biomimicry, especially as it pertains to human behavior. Since plastic pollution is a growing global problem, I was meditating on the various structures of growth that occur in nature and how they may help us envision or design solutions to help shift our self-destructive trajectory as a species.
