Inner West Council’s Edge on the Greenway Festival
Sounds of the Greenway was an intimate live gig inside an immersive installation.
We were commissioned by Inner West Council to deliver an installation, public programme and live music performance during an artist residency.
Our installation explored the spectrum of sound that exists outside the range of human hearing. We collaborated with two improv musicians who created an electronic soundscape using a guitar, bass and pitch-shifting effects processor.

Inner West Council’s Edge on the Greenway Festival
Songs of Greenway was a site-specific installation that explored the spectrum of sound that exists outside the range of human hearing.
We were commissioned by Inner West Council to deliver an installation, public programme and live music performance during an artist residency.
Using contact microphones, we created a soundscape from the contracting movements of a trees in response to environmental factors and human activity. Our installation served as the lens between the audience and the landscape, showcasing the story of an otherwise silent figure in the Greenway.

Project (Vic)Toria Unit 2: The Laboratory Gardens
The Laboratory Gardens is a two-week elective for Melbourne University and the Architectural Association of London.
Our intensive looked at the stories we tell ourselves—and others—about discovery, and the narratives we form in the process.
With landscape and First Nations historian Bill Gammage, along with representatives from Bush Heritage, students explored the notion of the ‘wild’ as a myth that negates the agency and cultural participation that has directly shaped and influenced the landscape around us.

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.
