Making a Mend.

There was a rather positive outcome to the incident which occurred in week 4 in which the greenhouse was badly damaged and a third of the plant pots were disturbed/broken.
It served to comment on the incompatibility of office life and nature. It also represents a struggle - the struggle of survival through adverse conditions. The greenhouse seems to have become a metaphor for the environment. Not only is it the protector of my little seedlings, but the fact that it was so easily damaged could represent the fragility of nature itself, and how we must protect and preserve it, so as to avoid chaos.

Therefore, the duct tape which I found to fix the polythene should be noticeable. I thought that to emphasise the accident would be to emphasise the newly found concept behind this installation. The tiny strips of tape could be seen to echo the visual language of stitches.

I love that this project keeps changing and developing as the weeks go on, like a mini Eco system or life cycle. I think these changes and new developments which occur, whether positive or negative, are what makes its process from seed to full wildflower garden so interesting.
