Archipelago

 

~5 years on 

Stoneware Glazed ceramics form the shell of my island. A half decade long isolated, starved segment of untilled soil. For five years this Tenmoku sheened planter has been forced to fend for itself. No outside intervention after the initial planting has seen plants- thrive and depart , Weeds- settle and conquer. No Seasol, No Powerfeed, nothing but rotting leaves and the nitrogen in the rainwater to replenish this isolated Archipelago. Homes to flora and fauna for my footscray based garden we can only imagine what landscapes will form in another 5 years from now.
