Palm House Cruciform Panels

Conceived of as a series of five, these cruciform panels explore the space between our culturally coded ideas of nature, and plants as living matter in time and space. They form part of a body of work I have been making for the past six years in Stanmer Park, Brighton, where there is a unique palm house built in 1952 by the council. This artificial space seems to encapsulate the way we objectify, sanctify and crucify nature.
