‘Empathy Toward Plants’ explores the potential for the gallery space to act as a greenhouse for subtle activism. Connection to place, ecology and conceptions of a nature/culture rift are explored via interdisciplinary practices of sculpture, painting and assemblage. With these varied methods, three emerging Australian female artists will employ motifs of flora and other natural phenomena to navigate the fragility of human relationships with nature.
