A new collection of Giant hogweed objects, sugary crystals & left-over materials of the NS.
The Gianthogweed, sugar & train left-overs
The new collection consists of three different main materials that interact with each other.
The Giant hogweed is a non-native plant and is perceived as an invasive alien species. I want to re-value this giant weed by showing the positive material side of this plant species.
Plants thrive because of the process of photosynthesis, glucose (sugar) is in this process crucial. At the same time, it is a controversial substance that surrounds modern society.
Infrastructure such as train tracks is a tool for invasive plant species like the Giant hogweed to spread along. I use the re-use of old train elements as a metaphor for this natural versus unnatural marriage.
