The Medicinal Plant Cycles series, with its roots in historical photographic processes and botanical art, focuses on local Australian healing plants from Minjerribah / North Stradbroke Island.

By embracing aesthetics, chance and extended periods of time to create the work, the research project draws on natural science and extensive consultations and discussions with members of the Quandamooka community of Minjerribah, and aims to present nature as events, not as static objects; an ongoing cycle of decay and renewal; and to increase awareness of the significance of local Australian flora.



Artwork at this exhibition includes a selection of images from the following albums on this website, and several new works:

Medicinal Plant Cycles
Unfolding Rhythms
TreeLine
