Polygall in a pot.
Based on shape of knopper oak wasp galls, produced by sessile oak trees in response to the wasp's parasitical predation as an extended phenotype of combined wasp and oak tree DNA. By creating a hanging and spinning soft sculpture of these modelled in salvaged heavy density polythene draws some parallels to our parasitcal yet dependent relationship with our environment.
Polygalls was a body of work developed during my graduate residency with Coventry Artspace 2019.
