History of plant life has direct correlations with human development, social history and behaviour including evolutionary biology, ethnobotany and social and political behaviour. | History of plant life has direct correlations with human development, social history and behaviour including evolutionary biology, ethnobotany and social and political behaviour. |

Given the significant symbiosis humans have with plant life it’s surprising that scientific research in this area is only just beginnning to evolve in recent years (comparative to the speed and depth of other scientific disciplines). However botany was only established or recognised as a formal science in the 1800’s. In the past 10 years more scientific research, information and evidence is emerging on plant physiology, adaptive behaviour and signalling, and new strands of specialist research have been established such as plant neurobiology. | Given the significant symbiosis humans have with plant life it’s surprising that scientific research in this area is only just beginning to evolve in recent years (comparative to the speed and depth of other scientific disciplines).

I’ve been intrigued by the way gardeners often anthropomorphise plants to rationalise successful gardening methodologies and one of these manifestations - the common compulsion and practice of people talking to plants due to its perceived benefits in improvement in plant health. | I’ve been intrigued by the way gardeners often anthropomorphise plants to rationalise successful gardening methodologies and one of these manifestations - the common compulsion and practice of people talking to plants due to its perceived benefits in improvement in plant health. |
The research continues in 2013 with attendance at meet up with Genspace Bio hackers and Observatory Gallery curators in Austin Texas USA, a Slime Mould workshop by Heather Barnett in March 2013 New York, the Plant Signalling Conference July 2013 in Vancouver, research of 17th-18thC botany texts at the Wellcome Library in London, residencies at Point B in New York, symbioticA in Perth Western Australia, and with artist collaborators at Bundanon Trust NSW. | The research continues in 2013 with attendance at meet up with Genspace Bio hackers and Observatory Gallery curators in Austin Texas USA, a Slime Mould workshop by Heather Barnett in March 2013 New York, the Plant Signalling Conference July 2013 in Vancouver, research of 17th-18thC botany texts at the Wellcome Library in London, residencies at Point B in New York, symbioticA in Perth Western Australia, and with artist collaborators at Bundanon Trust NSW. |
