close to the earth (24)

 

I was so happy to stumble upon this temporary artwork in the Dunedin Botanic gardens a few years ago.

 

I love the way it sung with the background...

from this place, of this place...

Work by artist Kate Fitzharris,

Situated in the Dunedin botanic gardens,

made using raw materials from within the gardens itself.

 

'The Commons explores the blurred lines between what we often think of as distinct spaces or perspectives: private/public, individual/collective, domestic/wild, human/nature, object/viewer. It reminds us that wild public places can be as intimate and homely as our domestic spaces, and that we have wild roots to our domestic lives. The Commons refers to places and resources not owned privately, but held in common and managed for the collective good. It also alludes to seeking out what we hold in common with each other and what we find around us, so we may have a more empathetic, connected world view.'
