Moss was one of the first photosynthetic organisms that colonized the
continents, grown in various habitats from sea coasts to the alpine zone
with some thriving in the dust, petrochemicals and concrete of the
cities. Urban mosses thrive in cracks and crevices in footpaths, curbs,
walls and drains where moisture collects and spores can lodge.
This installation was made with moss from the streets and walls of the
city of manchester to give an aesthetic value to this very versatile and
beautiful specie.
The installation was part of the Manchester Science Festival for The Golden Ratio Project at Art nexus Cafe, Octubre 2011.
