A dozen root sculptures were installed on a path at the Darts Hills Gardens in South
Surrey as part of an environmental art show -Panoply- from June to September.
By growing wheatgrass in molds of faces, the roots metamorphose into representations
of human forms.
During the exhibition, they dried and weathered reminding us of our ephemerality. In this way, nature imitates us in celebrating our community at this time of
great ecological concern.
Working directly with nature has made me realize that we have created a false separation between nature and ourselves; after all, roots occur in our bodies, families, and communities and spiritually with our planet and the cosmos.
