Peregrinations of a Citizen Botanist is currently showing at Mundaring Arts Centre. It's a great little exhibition of eco-dyed and embroidered textiles, dolls, mixed media and native flora. The picture above shows the botanist in his eco-dyed clothes. The exhibition contains miniature items collected and owned by the botanist arranged in drawers and boxes like a cabinet of curiosities or an attic of long forgotten treasures. One of the nicest things about the exhibition is that the audience are encouraged to interact with the work by moving and turning the models and boxes. It was crowded for the "What on Earth" open day when I visited so the photos are not great. Go and take a look at it in real life if you get a chance.
