Patricia Piccinini is bringing a field of 3,000 ‘genetically-modified’ flowers to Sydney

Patricia Piccinini might be best known for her confronting, surreal and strangely beautiful hyper-real sculptures, melding human and animal forms, but she's recently turned her attention to the world of flora. Earlier this year she premiered 'The Field', an installation made up of 3,000 genetically-modified flowers, at QAGOMA in Brisbane.
