“…plants, which I’d always regarded as the objects of my desire were also, I realized, subjects, acting on me, getting me to do things for them they couldn’t do themselves.”

(Michael Pollan. The Botany of Desire: A Plant’s-Eye View of the World. New York: Random House, Inc., 2001. pp. xv)

Stagnant Growth is an ongoing series which addresses modes of human and natural production and reproduction. The pieces within this series teeter upon the edge of structure and order, continually reasserting the desire to return to a natural state of disarray. The tension between these elements of order and disorder, precision and confusion, mechanical repetition and natural variation all lead to a sense of simulated “growth” and manufactured reproduction within each piece.
