Welcome home
October 8- 18, 2020
Welcome to a series of installation artworks by a collective of local artists exploring the wonders of botanical materials.
“Nature is not a place to visit. It is home.”
― Gary Snyder
An immersive botanical installation through which to wander & experience the cycles of Nature ....... and Life.
The dying back and breaking down, the decay and the dormancy, the budding and then bursting forth - an explosion of majestic colour & life-force.
Drink up the sensory nourishment of a tapestry of colour, texture, scent and form highlighting the inherent beauty of the natural world.
And welcome yourself Home...
Hope Lovelock Deane Hope works from a contemporary visual art background & almost 30 years of practice, focused predominantly on installations & public art, always working towards reconnecting people with the wonders of the natural world around us. She currently directs a botanical studio in McLaren Vale, Harvest Studio, creating soulful, sculptural and spatial responses from locally farmed & foraged, seasonal materials.
Anna Falkon Anna lives and works on her family's cut flower farm between Meadows and Echunga. She creates from her studio amidst an abundant and ever-evolving, overgrown garden, weaving together different threads of garden inspired art.
Evie Harrison Evie is a floral artist creating installations from a gorgeous home studio in Aldinga Beach. In 2019, she was listed by House & Garden as one of the top 12 floral artists to watch in Australia. Using flowers, grasses, greenery and all sorts of nature-based elements, she forms highly sculptural, artistic structures - using nature as her medium. For the past 5 years she has created floral installations for clients, large public and corporate art for events and spaces, and built a reputation for her wedding flowers by brides across Australia. There is a wild, foraged aspect to her floral sculptures, using her creative talent to break traditions and enchant the audience.
Rebecca McEwan Rebecca is a multidisciplinary artist who explores the intrinsic connections between humans and the natural world. Working in drawing, sculpture and installation she seeks ways to re-engage us with the awe and reverence we once held for the environment in which we live.
