In this site-specific installation, artist Zachari Logan brings ceramics into the centre of his long-standing exploration of weeds, wildflowers, and ditches as avatars of queer male embodiment. Known for his exquisitely rendered drawings, Logan’s delicate plant forms evoke a ‘re-wilding’ of the body, where growth and fecundity arise out of material and form. Including the ditch as a liminal, queer space that thrives on the margins as well as individual, elaborately painted specimens, Logan transforms the physical body into an aspect of nature, resisting the containment of the vitrine.

The installation is on view across three levels of the Museum’s soaring stairwell gallery.
