Embracing the Familiar

Tuggeranong Arts Centre commissioned me to research and create new work in collaboration with community from Australia, New Zealand and England, for a solo exhibition. This exhibition included nearly 100 printed and plant dyed textiles and a website where documentation of each textile piece and the participant reflections were recorded. This work continued my research using species specific plant dye to activate and make visible relations between plants and people, in this case bringing practices of care to both the production and exhibition process as we attended to trees people loved and spent time with during Covid-19 lockdowns.
