Artist Statement: Each piece is made from recycled glass objects and cotton cloth. The base contains a water reservoir and fabric wicks to draw water to the plant roots. The top, glass vestibules each contain a layer of activated charcoal, creating a biochar amendment and permanent supply of nutrients to the roots. The next layer contains soil enriched with chook manure for extra nutrient supplies. A further layer of tiny red pebbles has been added for extra significance.
