Artist Statement - Jenny Manning
Every tree begins with a seed
A seed contains all the genetic information to create the most complex and important growing plant in the world.
My wall piece is made from a number of crocheted seed pod shapes using fine copper wire. They are connected together to form an oval form 75cm wide by 100 cm tall.
In am interested in the patterns and the shadows that these crocheted seed pods cast on the wall as well as the way repetition of a small form can create a larger form of identical
shape--- a structural system often found in botany.
I am also interested in interpreting this imagery in two dimensions. This large black and white pen and ink drawing explores the complex botanical structure of the Kurrajong tree.
