Art in the Garden - Untitled




Benjamin Lenoir
Medium - Branches, Aluminum Foil, Spray Foam
2009

During the construction of this project I was thinking about many things. Mainly how we treat our environment and are slowly turning it into a synthetic organism. We genetically alter plants for our benefit by selective breeding processes, infecting plants with retroviruses, and many other means. This is my take on how plant life may end in the future and a snapshot of what I think is to come of our world as we keep expanding and overpopulating.
