Or how to avoid importing a biohazard!
Further research into New Zealand's importation of living or once living items has caused me to reconsider my pages for Lisa's book.
On reflection I realised that in order for the book to continue on it's merry way without risk of rejection by customs I needed to rehash my piece in Lisa's book 'Labyrinth'. Determined to keep with my theme of exploration of natural labyrinths in nature, I opted for a little makeover and have finally finished it all!
Welcome to the labyrinth of the Tree.
A year in the life of a tree.
Spring and the unfurling of new leaves and the contrasting colour of new brown bark.
Of course the cabinet remains, but more of that later!
On to autumns golden decay and the inner structure of the leaf revealed.
Summers green dress...

Underneath...
the living tree
and a pocket to place items gathered from nature.
The bones of the tree revealed by winters cold breath.
and the page opened out.
But, then there's the cabinet door...
Where fossils have been created to display the wonderful natural labyrinths found in nature.
And you can still touch!
