A mixed-media exhibition exploring the unseen beauty of Canberra through the use of natural materials such as pollens, ash earth and plant dyes collected from specific sites in the Canberra region. These materials are used in a variety of techniques on paper and textiles to build up a profile of our territory. Their composition references the idea of Walter Burley Griffin’s planned city, and the effect that white settlement and urbanisation had on the indigenous flora.
