THE REMAKING OF THINGS
What if you could grow a forest from a collection. What if you could weave a floor to ceiling landscape from E. G. Adamson’s Snow coral (1930s–1940s) and Louisa Anne Meredith’s Study for gum-flowers and ‘love’ (c. 1860). Slide Tom Roberts’s She-oak and sunlight (1889) alongside Tom Humphrey’s Summer walk (c. 1888), and glimpse Grace Cossington-Smith’s Bottlebrushes (1935) through the foliage.
BRACKETED BY LIGHT
To those who require foraging resources and roosting sites.
To the ingenious ecological kindness of the pollinators and seed dispersers.
The echolocators catching insects on the wing. The leaf-consuming fuel-reducers.
The intricate connection of all things.
