Seeds have always fascinated me in the way they can travel the earth. They utilize every opportunity Nature provides to move on to new places. Using a variety of shapes, colours, sizes and weight they either float on the breeze, hitch a ride on someone’s hide, cruise the waters of oceans and creeks, explode like a cracker, travel incognito in a birds belly, get carried away and hoarded by a hungry marsupial or just drop, plop and roll to a new location away from the parent plants!
I hope that my artworks and photography have captured some of seed’s special characteristics, their quirky natures of time travel and the beauty of their design.  A giant Dandelion seed head and a very large woven pod complete with seeds have been created to emphasise this. A display of seeds includes the world’s biggest seed, a Coco de mer!
 As it is the Year of the Farmer, I thought it fitting to sow some seeds…
