Offshoot

In this audio sculptural installation with Margit Rusert (https://margit-rusert.de), our vision is to create a place where nothing is certain, where things – plants, fungi, or even bacteria – reach from the top to the bottom, from corners and centre and out to the edges. Resonances, that may or may not be familiar, encompass the gallery. In, round or through the work in the exhibition, individual sounds play quietly amongst the sculptures creating micro worlds. 

Taking Rusert’s earlier sculptures, The Winner Takes It All, an exploration of plant mutation, as an inspiration, Offshoot imagines what happens next. We are presently destroying our own environment due to individual behaviour and to corporate greed.  This work at Broadway Gallery, Nottingham, supported by Near Now, explores the natural environment, sustainability, biodiversity and ecology, particularly of plants, to try and gain an understanding of how we might see and hear the earth in a future time.
