Nick Cave’s Soundsuits are fantastic collages on (often) formed and (sometimes) moveable cavases. His work inspires me to embrace my own imaginings.
I wanted a wearable plant suit. I have some great pieces of bark, like this piece on the left, as well as interesting branches like pussy willow, Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick Cottonwood, and Red Twig Dogwood that would be perfect on a suit.
Biologically, we owe our existence to plants. They’re the basis for all our food (even animals eat plants, after all) …. and all our air.
They sustain us in every way, and yet we’re so disconnected from the plant world.
