"Triffid Propagation"

2008-07-23T13:08:00.000+10:00

My latest painted work. The first in a series I am currently working on, exploring the morphing of plant species, influenced by human manipulation and genetic propagation.

A collection of my latest work - Work in progress

2008-07-19T10:03:00.000+10:00

I am currently working on a series of works that explore the 'triffid' like plant. I hope to present the knowledge i have of plant life and create works that explore the idea of genetic manipulation, human interaction and propagation, exploring the way inwhich we view plants when we alter the context.
