Simryn Gill grew up in Port Dickson, Malaysia, and has returned to make her work there since 1993. The key photographs in this book, in which the artist becomes an oil palm tree, are a continuation of her work Vegetation (1999– ongoing), where she records herself in various places disguised as local plants: tumbleweed and agave in Texas, grass tree and paperbark tree in rural New South Wales, and an epiphytic fern in a rare derelict site in Singapore.
