Grow rapidly, attain great height is an investigative, generative project examining colonisation of Australia from afar. The Eucalyptus will be the central figure of this process, a metaphor for colonisation. I will consider the eucalyptus contribution to Athens city. I will deconstruct the eucalypt materially to offer alternate perspectives, while mapping their placement and genus types around the city. This work will draw from performance, transgression and collaboration an extension of recent exhibition Welcome Fire (Bush retreat) 2023.
