Emerging from the tall grass, the teasel plant stands proud, a non-native species that is now considered invasive. This installation embodies the idea of human induced invasion, imposing the order of the city into nature, a grid of columns juxtaposed with the natural landscape. Each post is a minimalist interpretation of the biannual teasel, investigating the cyclical changes of form, collecting solar energy during the day and glowing each night. The uniform grid reinforces the rolling topography while the lights illuminate the landscape at night, acting as a beacon for the Common Ground public art exhibition to all the cars that pass by.
