GIANT HOGWEED STEM BOXES: 2005
Ranging from 215mm to 75mm high x 35mm diameter
The series of ten boxes is a complete piece.
 £450 (postage and packaging is £15 within UK)

A series of ten boxes made from a single stem of Giant Hogweed from the banks of the Leet Water (a tributary of the Tweed). Near the mouth of the Leet are large tracts of this highly invasive plant. Strenuous steps are being taken to control it. In my mind this raises interesting parallels with human migration.

Part of my contribution to the book 'Tweed Rivers' (published by platform projects and Luath Press Ltd.   ISBN 1-905222-25-4).
