Corymbia Maculata (Spotted Gum)
225cm x 45cm x 6.5cm
SOLD

Exploring the way organisms co-exist, and organise themselves in societies, we wonder how the microscopic cellular structures that we are constructed by differ from the forest of trees, or the bed of mussels.

The mussel appear to live in absolute autarky, or self-sufficiency: only their hard, calcified external shell ever comes in contact with their kin. But how isolated are they, really? How much do trees exchange with one another? How isolate are we, ever?

Made from a single slab of a centenarian C. maculata, salvaged from a tree removal in Northcote, Vic.
