We have blackened our windows and doors to push the idea of
an inner void, from which our plant life will burst forth.



Individual contributions are clear with the elements that
we are each making with old magazines, cutting and pasting,
making beautiful, weird and fantastical flowers!



Creativity is very messy!


Some lovely details made by Maria.

It really is messy at the end of the day, but proud of it.
Plus we are considerate of our surroundings and clean up well.



More elements. Some of our collage material was donated
from a nursery school. Note the egg shapes which
we will use as flowers.

Of our entire group Christina (KPYCTYHA) is famous
for having the most beautiful eyes in the land.


And Sasha is our very own Rapunzel


Our first elements go up.


Our first flower!


Eugene begins the layering.


Masha & Alex working together on the factory
image that is being overtaken by nature.


What is Dimitri doing?


...making an awesome high relief tree out of paper mache!

Still in progress, still plenty to do, it's not finished yet.
But we are satisfied so far. It's interesting working together
through a creative process like this. It's as though we have
become one big brain, and often arrive at the same conclusions
simultaneously.
