Urban Gardening

Tomato seeds for my window garden are starting to sprout which made me extra delighted when I came across Samm Kunce's hydroponic sculptures today. The strange codependent universes in these sculptures are particularly startling because they represent the containment of nature for both sustenance and pleasure while also emphasizing the fragility of life. I can't help but imagine a world so depleted that we all must grow our food in fish bowls because they are more sanitary than soil.


Samm Kunce, Hydroponic #4

This piece is part of an exhibition called “And for All This, Nature Is Never Spent,” up at Pelham Art Center through April 25, that was guest curated by Jo Anna Isaak. Read more here.
