Inspired by the intricacies around generational farming, the good years, the bad years, and all the in between. How farms, farmers & their families continue to flourish in what sometimes seems like the impossible....

With the use of professional studio lighting, the roots and all series gives an intricate insight of cacti suspended in air.

Cacti - structurally beautiful and almost ‘sculpture-like’ plants
stand-alone dotted throughout rural areas, often embedded in the most barren and isolated places.

Bold and striking plants, they rarely need attention and thrive in their stark, usually parched environment, not unlike the farmers and their families who work the earth all over the EP and (most) continue to thrive for generations.

The (farmer) & (cacti) work hard in tough conditions, pouring themselves into the soil beneath them to maintain existence, to survive and grow.

There are fifteen works in this collection, with each piece capturing the nature of the plant, its spikes, the grit, the dirt, its roots and all.

This connection (farmer and cacti) tho conceptual, draws out the idea of resilience, Gab remarks ‘You may see a cactus, I see a battler.’
