About
Glasshouse Stories is an art installation displayed in the glass-fronted reception space of an office building in the City of London. It was created by Brighton-based artist Claudia Fontes and explores the hidden lives of plants and the relationships between nature, history and migration. The display is inspired by the relocation of plants from Kew Gardens' historic Palm House to a new sustainable home, and at its centre are sculptures made from plant-based resin, developed from 3D scans of plant root systems. Two major sculptures, 'Choir' and 'HIP', create the feeling of a modern conservatory and invite visitors to consider movement, resilience and the interconnected histories of plants and people.
