Propagator (2003-ongoing)
Mesostic poems written on the names of flora at YSP are displayed in a greenhouse. A mesostic is composed of a name-stem and word-branches and the poems reveal something of the plant's character. As with his earlier ongoing project, circlesthroughthepath (a guided walk of letterboxes and rubber stamp circle poems), this work offers a word-map of the Park landscape. The mesostic is a simple form capable of complex operations. The poems are an invitation to the reader to compose their own.
