Selected as part of an open call to artists sponsored by Messums Creative. The brief was to propose plans for a large, site-specific, ephemeral sculpture created using non-hydrocarbon-based materials, challenging artists to think differently about the use of materials in their individual practices, and encouraging the viewer to consider the beauty and value in ephemeral art.

The process uses only organic and locally sourced materials; any excess shoot or seed is repurposed as animal fodder, leaving no waste behind.
