This piece is a playful trick to human perception, taking us down to a microscopic level. The immense garden at Wakehurst inspired me to expand a seed to 500 times bigger than its original size. Come inside and hear the voices of the elder guardians bringing together the frequency of the coral tree (Erythrina americana) seed, the spirit of the ancient seed and the mythology of American and Mexican ancestral cultures. The installation is made of natural Mexican materials and sounds: bamboo, Erythrina americana seeds, willow and cotton fabric with natural beeswax, the frequency of the plant, and the voices of the elders.
