THE EIGHT FORESTS


The first works I made at the gardens in 2011 was these unfired clay pod forms. I wrote continuosly around the form the names of the eight major forest types in Australia. Acacia Casuarina Callitris Melaleuca Eucalyptus Plantaions Mangroves Rainforests I later installed them in the bamboo grove where I left them to biodegrade.
