This sculptural triptych examines growth within temporal states when a sense of place or hom i removed. It is inspired by moss that although grows vastly, lacks true roots. The work is an amalgamation of three domestic components that include past family member’s photographs bodily interactions and scans of floral remnants.
The material prints hold familial qualities to that of the Rookwood environment, where the delicate yet durable nature of work is reinvigorated by the habits of the landscape.
