‘Reclaimed Tree Fern’ was inspired by the cyclic nature of Nature, and more specifically by the verdant areas of the Upper Yarra property. It’s a mega-layered piece that started out being composed of much more garden and depth, but what emerged was mostly this lone monolithic tree fern that in itself has seen better days, but the stag-horn and monstera are thriving on it’s structure. It has also become a beckon for mosses and fungi to complete the stand-alone ecosystem.
I’m interested in the way nature operates - how it reclaims what stands still. It’s reminiscent of other underwater works such as ‘Oh Buoy’ and ‘Old Jetty Reclaimed’ where life/nature took root.
