Plants! They live in your home… they sit on your desk… they drink your water… but who are they really? The truth is, no one knows…
Plants! is a peek into the secret lives of plants and their insatiable lust for mischief, mayhem, and mulch. Each one is meticulously handcrafted using epoxy clay, wire, and resin, hand-painted and airbrushed with acrylic until ripe and ready for picking.
Now these plants have been exported from Brooklyn, NY and are looking for a good home! Much like us, they just need someone who will love them, water them, and bury them in dirt.
