..a spooky one to start with
June 24, 2008
“We got this one from the house we were living in,
about 10 years ago, more even.. 14?
This house was haunted, fully possessed …i was nearly snuffed out one night, i woke up from a dream and was in that nearly-awake state and opened my eyes, nothing was there, i couldn’t see anything but the room, but i was fully gasping for breath like if someone was pushing a cushion on my face and i had to extend my arm to push it away whatever it was..
only then it stopped.
Fully haunted house..
Indy was with us and she was always spooked. She would stand up and bark, and follow with her head a point traveling through the room.. and if you looked good, at times, you could see a strange light, a luminescence travelling through the room..
..
This plant was the only plant in the whole garden.
We got it out and took with us..
that’s why of the skeleton.
It doesn’t look very good at the moment.
It’s alrite thou.
It needs a bit of air and sun.
some rain would do it good.
The pot came from house too..”
Matt, Redfern
CALL OUT FOR POTTED PLANTS
June 4, 2008
Do you have a potted friend that means something special to you?
Perhaps a hanging succulent that’s followed you from one home to the next? Would you like your plant’s story to be part of an exciting new project about these oftenoverlooked neighbours? … Then we’d love to hear from you.
We are a small team of green-thumbed artists putting together a one-off installation at CarriageWorks made up of pot plants on loan from local residents. The installation is part of the Underbelly Public Arts Lab, and will be assembled between the 1st – 11th of July. Your green friends can be brought in to us at CarriageWorks throughout this time, and will be carefully looked after until the 14th of July when they can return home. We would also like each plant to be accompanied by a short letter of introduction from its owner, sharing a little something of its history or personal significance to you (handwritten notes are most welcome).
