Durational Performance and Moving Image

 

I fixed seeds to myself with surgical dressings, and began the process of growing them from my body over a duration of 4 days.

The seedlings were nurtured whilst attached to my stomach, inner left thigh, right knee and right forearm - once they had grown completely, I ate them from myself to destroy, consume and absorb my work.

 

Various video-diary documentation, photographs and moving image pieces were developed from and in support of the performance.
