The art work is a combination of participatory elements which include conversation,
experiential and perceptual forms.
Each person in the conversation threads eucalyptus leaves onto piano wires , forming tall column like leaf stacks. The piano wires are connected to a box made of oak, filled with coal. Included in this box is a glass container filled with eucalyptus sap and coal dust. One end of each piano wire, is submerged into the same bottle.
I facilitate this process and work with various actions including- readings of Heisenbergs' Uncertainty Theory and the listings of the plant species that potentially have become the coal used in the work.
This provides a particular form from which a conversation can emerge.
After an hour of conversation (and once all the conversations have taken place),
the 'infused sap' is extracted from the bottle and placed in a vile, which is then connected to the leaf stacks.
