" the human desire for order and regularity, it's endless
urge to impose structure and pattern on a planet whose ultimate
beauty is its unpredictability, its randomness, and its wild
freedom."
(ARMITAGE, Simon. Introduction
in Landmarks. Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2001).
This work uses growing environments as a metaphor for the investigation
of people's relationship with the natural world and their desired
control and ownership of it.
Latin names collected from catalogues and plant labels during
visits to the various glasshouses provide the captions in Green
Fingers. They are designed to be displayed in alphabetical
order to echo the classification of plants.
