				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Inspired by Philip K. Dick&#8217;s short story &#8220;Piper in the Woods&#8221; I look at the phenomenon of humans becoming plants. In the short fiction, Dick describes a kind of ‘disease’ that affects military workers on another planet where they ‘become plants’ &#8211; with the ‘how’ of this phenomenon left unstated. This imaginary lead me to adopt this idea of ‘men becoming plants’.</p>
<p>Experimenting with the recycling life, waste, composting, the bio-symbiosis of growing, sunning, observation of plant behavior and movement, I explore the ideas laid out in Dick’s story through my own experiments and other artists.</p>
<p>For the most part environmental actions have failed us. Tactics of identification have somewhat changed the dynamic of meat consumption in the US. But there is a disregard for plant life with a lack of biodiversity, and genetically modified plants commonly accepted. The consideration of plant life and the development of empathy for plants encourages an identification &#8211; perhaps a ‘tactic of care’ worth exploring.</p>
