Lisa’s workmate
September 28, 2008
“This one started from a street plant cutting, which I used in an artwork in 2004. Then I planted it up & it came to keep me company in the library where I work at Sydney Uni – each year it has sat on a sunny windowsill on a different floor in Fisher Library. When I went overseas for a while my work friend looked after it in the jungle of plants around her desk. This year it wasn’t looking good so it’s been re-potted & now lives in the sun on the desk in my studio.”

Succulent kettle
August 31, 2008
“I took a cutting from someone’s front yard in Bronte while walking home from the beach. I bought the kettle in an op-shop near Barrington Tops. I just trimmed it very dramatically, I couldn’t stop…”

Sumu’s little Lucifer
August 10, 2008
“’Lucifer’ arrived on our balcony one day – he may have emerged from the Jungle or been abandoned by his previous owners – we are also unsure if his current state reflects our neglect or his own nihilistic streak?
Society made him what he is today.”
Sumu, Darlington
