Wildflowering by Design at Bribie
Wildflowering by Design explores contemporary responses to our botanical and wildflower heritage. It presents works by Queensland female artists who work across the art and design spectrum. Taking a fresh look at the historical legacy and engaging with local landscapes, the artists have created new, re-imagined works and visions. Through bringing nature into people's homes and lives, we help create a 'botanical culture'. This builds broader awareness of our native 'wildflower' heritage and appreciation for Country.
