Terap on the Loose, 2024
Found terap leaves, found toy cars, glue
Dimensions variable
Fallen leaves roam the floors of the gallery in this kinetic installation, defying the expectation that dead things should be static. The leaves appear to take on lively personalities, demonstrating interests of their own as they traverse space in unpredictable patterns. As they move, they occasionally bump into each other and human visitors in the space. This work also challenges our perception of trees as stationary beings: lending the terap tree a set of wheels could suggest that trees are migratory species capable of moving and communicating across space.
