Living Family Tree

Living Family Tree is a collection of hydroponic vases supporting self-seeded flora from the floor of a beech wood.

 Photographs by Chris Tubbs   http://www.christubbs-gallery.com

 Exhibited 2014 October-November: Living Family Tree with GDP http://www.grossdomesticproduct.org.uk/ at Medcalf, Exmouth Market, EC1 for Islington Exhibits, http://islingtonexhibits.com/

 
Each vase is an active hydroponic system, with a nutrient solution supplied to the plant by pumping. The solution spills onto the plant roots and is aerated as it falls, enabling air to reach the roots and creating rainfall within the vase.

The vases are made from pyrex borosilicate glass by laboratory glass-makers and have a polished walnut stem.
