This play is a reflection on the (im)possibility of accepting diversity and the other. The fragmented body of the neoplasm—the fruit of unstable conditions—overcomes barriers, loves and denies itself and others, wanders around, forgetting its profession. It frequently and with pleasure divides, goes through dangerous palpation, questions the possibility of contact with the experience of the other. Poorly brought up but very successful, it invites us to a trans-species transition.

Artist Statement
For many years I’ve been planting Elephant Ear bulbs in the garden and harvesting the leaves at the end of the growing season for photographic work. Initially, I use these leaves as negatives to produce black and white photograms and then freeze them for future projects. Eventually, all the leaves are left out to dry. This wall hanging was created from a pile of dried leaves, all of which have their own picture history. Since the birth of my son, my art has been connected to the garden and its inherent rituals and cycles. For that reason, my garden images have always been about living and working through life and loss. It only seemed natural, therefore, that this piece for the hearth should represent both family and home.
