No Longer Viable

No Longer Viable is an ongoing series of houseplants that were acquired at the end of their “viable” life.

One by one, each rescued plant was given personalized attention and continuous recovery care, with an obsessive commitment to bringing the plant back to health. Back to life.

Not one plant in this series survived.

The framed remnants of the rescued plants serve as a testimony to the inevitable. But are these dead plants different from other dead plants because someone tried to save them? Research points to experiences having the ability to alter DNA, so does that mean there is a biologic record of the care each plant received? That somewhere, preserved within their dried remains, are the permanent records of obsessive caregiving? Or was the entire process a collection of futility?
