Pass It On
Pass It On is an artwork which seeks to create a narrative from one space to the next, and beyond. There is a sense of connection and disconnection between the seeds and floor text, between each individual seed, as well as between the people who pick them up. This is played out through three acts: The artist numbering each seed by hand, the covering of the text with seeds in the installation, and subsequently the audience members eroding the seed layer to reveal text underneath. The resulting sculpture comprises more than 8000 saga seeds. -
