NobBody’s interdisciplinary approach to art allows him to work collaboratively and individually, with no loyalty to particular media and materials. He is a key member of artist group SquatSpace, the Network of Uncollectable Artists and the FAG Press. His activities create dynamic social criticism resulting in site-specific, project driven interventions. Weedyconnection is an ongoing investigation where incidental botanical species are metaphorically used to display the cultural reality of Australia. The work problematises the concept of permissible species in this country, which de-facto alienates non-native ethnobotanical connections. For the occasion, permission was sought to leave a patch of the park to grow, allowing specimens to fully mature, revealing the botanical reality of our urban environments.
