A made fake pot plant. An appropriation of a palm tree, of a height of one and a half metres. It's skeletal composition is of a found bent steel pol, that makes up the trunk. And the leaves are structured out of wire loops. Modrock has been used to mould the composite elements into a plam tree like object. It has then been painted and placed in a pot. This tree then became part of a larger installation named, "Modrock Plantation".

My interest was to make a sculpture out of found source material, and then to use craft to make it more glamorous. A similar method to the way I had been making paintings. Pot plants are natural sculptures already and so it is fun to make a sculpture of something that is already considered a sculpture. Thereby the point of the artwork is to look and comment at what already exists around us.
