The Adler Index

A forested presentation of plants propagated from liberated clippings of other plants, arranged among large format photographs taken during the process of regrowth. These new plants are identical clones that retain all unique characteristics of the original plant. As a direct index of their parent body, the plants create a distinct representation of an original that are simultaneously identical yet unique from the source. In other words, these plants are photographs. They grow faster and flower sooner than plants grown from seed, becoming fully independent fruiting bodies. A collaborative project with horticulturalist Regan Flanagan.
