CONSTRUCTIVE_BOTANICS
GARTH HENDERSON
‘The plant never lapses into mere arid functionalism; it fashions and shapes according to logic and suitability, and with its primeval force compels everything to attain the highest artistic form.’
Karl Blossfeldt (1865 -1932)
Constructive_Botanics is a contemporary re-construction of traditional botanical representations, and discards the historical scientific and cultural histories in favour of modern architectural and mathematical aesthetics. Abstracted and hybridized, each of these specimens becomes a grand monument to the theories of engineering, genetic diversity, and the mathematics of nature.
