It wasn’t until I started my exploration of these native botanicals that I realised how much of the Australian landscape has been altered by invasive plant species. I decided to develop an ‘Invasive Botany Vase’ series as well, incorporating plants that have been introduced to Australia from other parts of the world. No one can deny that the plants depicted in these works, both native and invasive, hold beauty and significance for many Australians. While ‘invasive’ is a word that often has negative connotations, this assembled collection is not meant to offend, but rather encourage conversation about how we can preserve and celebrate our native landscapes whilst still enjoying the incredible diversity of botany that has been imported from other parts of the world.
