Pollination involved working with scents. It reflected both historical and contemporary issues about notions of boundaries.

The project was based on research into Jacobson’s Organ (which is found in the nose). Apparently our responses to people and place are primarily informed by these olfactory instincts. The research explored scent as a medium which transcends physical and perceptual boundaries, and yet is associated in the animal world with marking territories.
