The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney is the perfect setting to view artworks inspired by plants and memories, especially when considered in terms of how they inform our connections with place and culture.
Opening in May, the exhibition Plant Stories in Thread is more than traditional botanical illustrations – it turns to the essence of the quality of plants to create a more tactile engagement with nature, and uses textiles as the connector between a sense of place and the tacit knowledge of hands-on making.
