My partner Lia and I presented Nomadic Gardens at MAPFEST in Malaysia, November 2010. With the collaboration of Frank Gonzales Quiltsuns.
Nomadic Gardens
333 helium-inflated nomadic gardens in balloons, filled with sprouted seeds as a metaphor for the abundance though precarious nature of life. These floating gardens have the potential to land on auspicious ground and grow plants across the site of the festival and beyond. (Fri 26 – Sun 28 Nov 6pm @ Site 1 St Paul’s Church)
