Living Costumes


The Living Costumes are a part-sculpture part-performance body of work that involves carefully crafted living costumes grown from grass, flower and other flora. Each costume contained a specially developed membrane system that enables the costumes to be grown and continue to live.

The work and subsequent performance explores the connection we have with nature and  the lingering green spaces in our urban environment. Through an embrace of the absurd and a hint of mysticism the audience becomes a part of the spectacle of the Grass men. The work takes many forms and can be booked for unique commissions, workshops and performances. Find out more about our international project Living Costume Kits/ Grassman International.
