Conspiring with Plants , 2022
45 x 50 cm (h x w)
Felted wire with embroidery, twigs, glue.

You see lichen-clad twigs protruding from a soft earth. The plants poetically reign on this small planet. 
The twigs fell from the uppermost parts of a beech forest in a winter storm. The metal wire is felted and marked with splotches of embroidery. This is a virtual reality rendered in 2.5 D by Peter Hungerford.
This piece is inspired by the radical truth that we live in a green cosmos on a blue planet because of plants. Without plants no higher life would have arisen on this planet as we depend on their matter and oxygen production. The unmoving plants enable our worlding – they are the true first movers – world makers. We, the rootless, need to do life otherwise, to conspire with plants.
