Creature communication, Celebrating The World of Non-Human Artists.

Bunjil Place Outdoor Screen
Creature Communication-The World of Non-Human Artists is a perennial interest in gardening, science and the natural world.
This work takes as its starting points the intricate and often overlooked artistry of the natural world blended with imagination of unseen creatures and communication, between plants and animals, at the macro and micro level.
The audience are invited to consider the multitudes of earthly lifeforms that co-exist around us, each with their own individual and shared forms of intelligence, creativity, communications and relationships.
