Parking takes the form of a temporary grassland in the heart of Collingwood. The work transforms a single parking space into a site of potential, softening the hard city surface with a circular arrangement of hessian sacks and dancing grasses. Parking is a test site and part of my ongoing research into the garden as sculpture, and sculpture as garden. Stop by, sit on a rock, watch the grass grow, and perhaps even share your water with the plants.
