Silver banana — life-size sculpture. Garden Futures.

A cultivated artefact of the postnatural table, this life-size silver banana reframes a familiar fruit as a sculptural statement — a still life for the future domestic. Cast in silver-plated metal, it plays with the codes of nourishment and ornament, humour and permanence.

Its form is faithful to the organic — curved, slightly imperfect, rippling with texture — yet transformed into something strangely enduring. No longer edible, but elevated. No longer fruit, but form.

Part of the Garden Futures collection, this piece invites reflection on the cultivated versus the wild, the natural versus the staged. It belongs to a speculative garden — where objects grow not from soil, but from memory, irony, and aesthetic intent. A gesture toward Garden Futures, imagined through metal and meaning.
