Abstract
JA: When you searched for and pulled in feral fragments from upriver and inoculated the lower level with successional floodplain species, where has this action come from? It comes from something we have lost, both ecologically and culturally. Your exaggerated nature strategy allows small samples to dream of other spaces, other times. Like Robert Smithson’s Non-Sites, they provide a material reference that is very conscious of its isolation.
