Garden
November 1998 – March 2000
RHoK, Brussels
organic material, 4.5 x 5 m
In a garden in the middle of the city, I transformed a 22 square metre patch of lawn into a compositional surface. Within this defined area, I cultivated a variety of flowers and vegetables to study their unique characteristics and observe their growth process. I selected flowers for their colours and vegetables for their shapes.
