Undergrowth is an interactive shadow installation that invites the audience into a metaphorical journey to contemplate life’s cycles both physical and phycological. Much like stories, memories, hopes, disappointments, joys and grief that lurk underneath our skin, an entire universe teems with life under our feet, in the undergrowth. Invisible at first glance this world is filled with plants and creatures living in symbiosis and in constant metamorphosis. What can we learn if we look closely ?
The gallery being in the same building as a library and community garden and the relationship between these spaces inspired us to build the artworks as pop-up cutout paper sculptures.
