Relish the specter of unstoppable growth when you own this unique freestanding drawing-object by Las Vegas artist Chad Scott. During the early days of the pandemic, Scott invited his friends to send him plant clippings from their homes in return for a hand-drawn portrait of the same plant. Three years later he's still cultivating his clippings and recording their growth with dense concentrations of pen marks. This particular two-sided drawing-object depicts a Monstera adansonii, also known as a Swiss cheese plant.

Plant Clipping 1 (3 years), 2023
Two-sided drawing-object of a Monstera adansonii (Swiss cheese) plant clipping. Plant Clipping 1 (3 years) is from a project started in 2020 when I invited friends to participate in an art for plant clipping exchange project. Participants provided a plant clipping from their house or garden in exchange for a drawing-object of the clipping. Each plant clipping is cared for in my home, and documentation of their growth continues.

The drawing comes with a custom display stand.
