Toria Exhibition at 530 Collins
In collaboration with the team at United Make, We designed and built a flora sculpture as a living library, showcasing the learnings from five different research units, for a public exhibition.
The work was displayed on a six metre dining table—the modern day fireplace, the universal space where eating, socialising and conversations happen. Transitioning from the ‘wild’, to the cultivated and ‘tamed’, the flora landscape undulated across—and through—the table, linking each of the five units thematically to the next. This exhibition was both interactive and immersive—alongside the scent of the flowers were mist, burnt eucalyptus, native herbs and a carefully crafted soundtrack.
