The State of Nature- Behind the Scenes

For my final piece, what began as an exploration of gardens and nature eventually became a 'Day of the Triffids'!? 

At the beginning I was inspired by the Barbican Centre Conservatory, it was the place to spend my Sundays in a brutalist concrete box that was filled with tropical plants and warmth that in an odd way felt like home.

But I didn't stop there, I continued to explored gardens in and outside of London, my travels even took me as far as Cornwall to the Eden Project as I wrote about previously

 

 

Towards the end of the project after long travels, I returned to my home is South London and fell back in love with the buildings and wanted to find some way to bring this in my current work with nature. So began the apocalypse!

Then it eventually became this!
