Welcome to sacred Country. Many Songlines are embedded here on this Country that is now home to Eden Gardens. Country here has been shaped by water; Garigalo (saltwater), Nattaigalo (freshwater) and Biddigalo (sourwater) etch and mould the landscape, creating abundant ecologies that will sustainably shelter, provide and regenerate long into the future. On high Country here, ceremony is performed and in the deep valleys, women care for the freshwater and medicine lore. For millennia water has brought people together here for trade, ceremony and kinship responsibilities. This water Country knows how to heal, protect and provide, and we carry this enduring spirit into the future as we work with Country.
We honour and pay respect to the Ancestors, Elders and descendants of our kinship system here including the D’harawal, Dharug, Gai-mariagal, GuriNgai and Gundungarra peoples, among many others. It is through the Ancestral knowledges and stories of local peoples that we can understand Country and the unique ways in which Country connects us all.

eden unearthed 2022–2023 exhibiting artists
a note from the curator
Six years ago when Eden Unearthed was first imagined, I could never have predicted the journey this exhibition would take me on. Helping dozens of artists see their visions become reality has been an absolute privilege, and my sincerest thanks go to Simon and Anna Ainsworth, as patrons of the exhibition, for trusting me to put it together each year. Your firm belief in the Eden mottos: “art for everyone” and “to enrich people’s lives with plants” underpins this project, and indeed the whole of Eden Gardens.
The artists involved in Eden Unearthed constantly inspire me and reinvigorate my passion for creative industries and the arts – their creativity is infectious! I deeply value their support. Every year we are amazed by the myriad of inventive ways they hold a mirror up to our world through their installations, highlighting the vital issues and urgent challenges of our time.
Eden Unearthed truly is a collaboration between the artists, the gardening team, and judges Rae Bolotin, Graham Forsyth, and Allan Giddy. Enormous gratitude also for contributions from Shannon Foster, Caroline Verity and Jack Mounsey.

Butterfly Banquet is constructed with repurposed garden objects, making scaled-up versions of the Vanessa Kershaw, a butterfly known as the Australian Painted Lady. They can be seen in Sydney’s suburban backyards, but are also known for their spring mass migration and travel inland up to 600km. Their habitat and survival is threatened by deforestation, urban sprawl and climate change. Both rural and urban bush regeneration would benefit these beautiful butterflies, so they can continue with their banquet.
Basilios Papaioannou has been creating free standing and wall-based sculptures and installations since graduating from the National Arts School in 2000. He finds inspiration from flora and fauna and highlights how local and global issues like climate change and rapid urbanization are affecting all of us through his work as a landscape architect.

Listening to Trees is a series of paintings, drawings and sculptures using discarded and recycled materials for mark-making, experimentation, and creation. The artistic process of using the natural kinetic movement of trees to create marks and patterns in paint on wood (or of sculpture), only then to be cut up and remade to suit the artist, symbolises our human condition and relationship to the environment in which humans change the natural to suit themselves.

thank you! Using colour and mixed media techniques, including Alison Thompson’s signature crochet work, this piece thanks the earth for its care of the artist: the flowers for calm, the space for allowing her the chance to express herself and the air that she breathes for supporting her and making her be present. This bouquet is offered as part of a self-care series of work she is embarking on.
Alison Thompson is a textile artist who has been using crochet as an art form for nearly a decade.

Ritual waterfalls in the moon
garden is a unique hanging scroll green drawing which speaks deeply of gender identity, migration, colonisation, economy and society. These scrolls are offered as a space for ritual, mediation, healing and time through a contemporary art practice. The work refers to the journey of immigrants across land and water. Jayanto processes his sense of establishing the ‘other culture’ and ‘self-identity’ through an understanding of Australia as a new land for a foreign body.
Jayanto Tan was born in a small village in Northern Sumatra, where some of the issues addressed in his art cannot be discussed openly. As an immigrant visual artist, his practice blends Eastern and Western mythologies with the reality of current events. Exhibited nationally and internationally; Georges River Sculpture Art Prize 2021. Awarded grants from the City of Sydney, Inner West Council and NAVA.

Fungi Wall is about slowing down, symbiotic relationships, and the barriers humans create between themselves and the reality of the world’s environmental crisis. Mattson’s art practice involves spending hours of repetitive work with fibres, honouring the grandeur and importance of the fungi that she replicates, allowing space for meditation, inspiration, and thought. The more time spent pushing her needle through fabric, the less time spent consuming and scrolling.
Emma Mattson is a multi-media artist based in Baltimore, USA, and creates art that transcends the natural, creating an almost life-like landscape that is entirely unique. Her practice began with making intricately detailed moss embroideries, and now extends to the rest of the forest. Interested in the relationship between humans and environment, Mattson 'swork examines themes of biodiversity, production & consumption, and the benefits of nature on mental health.

The answer is blowing in the breeze is a quiet work exploring the uniqueness of our beloved Eucalypt, the contours of its leaf, the tiny markings, its movement, the shape of its shadow. In doing so, the artist also celebrates individuality, diversity and beauty in the morethan-human world. Time is a raw material in the laboured, careful process of hand-making the leaves, during which the artist reflects on the immeasurable value of a single leaf, held in our hands. This work asks us to care for, honour and protect that which should not be taken for granted.
Kristy Gordon investigates slowness not by switching off from our fast present, but by switching on. Through repetitive mark-making processes, including screenbased drawing, machine-work and carving with power tools, she finds connections between fast, contemporary tools and reflective, liminal spaces.

Lost Habitat is inspired by the 2021 report on the Australian State of the Environment, which stated: "Australia is one of the World’s deforestation hotspots, and the Bush fires of 2019 and 2020 were an ecological time bomb." This work is a tribute to Australian’s endangered fauna and flora: an invitation to transform current endangered list into a living environment for our future generations to continue cultivating a legacy, where we all contribute a little.
Gloria Florez has a continuing interest in the connection between science, conservation and art.

Forest Jewels
Many of our Australian eucalypts are vulnerable to climate change due to the narrow range of conditions favourable for each species. 'Ordinary' and everywhere, our gum tree is threatened. Magnified as a botanical specimen, each oversized jewel-like translucent gum leaf moving and spinning in the breeze reveals the extraordinariness of individual leaves, each bearing unique patina and presence, and qualities of botanical structure.
Christina Frank is a Sydney artist who often uses collected natural materials in works of impermanence which convey resilience and fragility, taking the natural world as inspiration itself and as metaphor for humanity in the Australian landscape. Exhibited widely including Eden Unearthed, North Sydney Art Prize, Fisher’s Ghost Art Prize, Lakelight Sculpture, Sculpture in the Vineyards.

Promises Political promises to create a sustainable future are proving to be nothing but paper as they fall apart The unmet goals of the Paris agreement are reflected in the continued disintegration of our environment and ecosystems. Reflecting this, the artist has recreated documents on handmade paper and formed them into endangered Australian animals, which will disintegrate eventually through subjection to nature's elements. Yet some pieces of paper hold seeds of hope for regrowth of our future.

Graffiti Cocoons focuses on the local gum tree Eucalyptus haemastoma, bringing attention to the moth –our attention is most often focused on the larvae due to the graffiti-like markings they make, a unique ‘scribble’ that communicates in a language of wonderment and beauty. With this work and the ethereal qualities of the tulle, the artist aims to emphasise the effect that human consumption has on the fragility of our natural world.
Amanda Laing is a Brisbane based artist and designer interested in pattern and inspired by the visual language of the natural world, exploring how elements such as colour, line and repetition can be arranged together to hold narrative and express emotion. Laing places weight not only on the human experience of viewing art, but also the process of experimenting with mixed media to allow for serendipitous discovery.

The Rocks is a ground-based installation that invites audiences to consider the way in which they read and mark landscapes. Alphabets formed from tent pegs are arranged and photographed in different conditions and used to form hidden texts. In the manner of a word search puzzle, the audience is encouraged to discover words within the work that provoke thought around the territorialisation, custodianship, and temporality of the land.
Ainslie Murray is an interdisciplinary artist and academic trained in architecture, exploring the augmentation of architectural space through subtle realisations of forgotten and intangible spatial forces. The atmosphere and its relation to lived experience are areas of special interest which have focused her practice-led research for over fifteen years. Her work ranges from large-scale immersive installations and constructions to film, painting, textiles and printed works.

Untitled (Earth
Bricks)
Compressed soil and plant matter cast into bricks are arranged in a modular configuration to form a multitudinous whole. Rather than mere imitators of nature, these mimetic bio-forms aim at an authentic and holistic rendering of an artwork's relation to local habitat. A commonality of materials drawn directly from the land negotiates an intimate language and bond that anchors form to site.
Mark Booth is a Sydney-based artist. He has exhibited widely, including a major solo exhibition at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery 2015; Major Award, Sculpture at Scenic World 2017; NSW Artists’ Grant (NAVA); residencies at The Armory (Sydney Olympic Park) and Phasmid Studios (Berlin).

Cloudspace
You are invited to lose time here, among the clouds. Sense the air, how it feels on your skin. Be present in the space you inhabit, which we also inhabit together. Leave behind the day’s velocity. Catch breath.
In the sky’s beautiful void, let ideas form like cloudshapes, let them drift. Take a moment to embody the sky’s shared space, an entity to cherish and protect.
Kristy Gordon is a slow maker who demonstrates attention and care through repetitive mark-making processes, translating experiences of nature into mindful practice.

RELOCATION, RELOCATION,
RELOCATION! Due to climate change and farming, the Australian white Ibis has migrated from marshy wetlands to urban areas. Sacred in Ancient Egypt, but today considered a pest due to their scavenging nature, they seem to have evolved and adapted to their new urban environment.
By relocating again to the grounds of a new Eden, they too will be in an environment that has evolved and adapted in this ever-changing world.
Basilios Papaioannou brings humour, scale and education, and believes it important not to preach but stimulate through thought, physical interaction and dialogue. Papaioannou uses many different mediums, such as eggshells, furniture, pianos and everyday mass-produced objects.

Hear the magical music of Heard via the QR code
Heard is a response to the abundance of life in Eden Gardens, where element speaks to the site, affording a glimpse of the sometimes invisible connections between all living things. These suspended ceramic nodes are a wildly magnified chain of Cytochrome-C’s, a highly conserved protein, common to all plants and animals and key to the respiratory system. Clay is earth transformed by fire into ceramic. Person-made magic has transformed the ceramic into luminescent musical orbs, celestial spheres, referencing Wilson’s Consilience Theory, urging us to gather multiple sources of evidence to drive a conclusion.
Melissa Silk & Sue-Ann Stanford share a common fascination with the intersection of maths, science, and art, working to bring these elements together in intriguing and original ways. This is their second collaboration.

After the Storm is in response to the crazy weather that the Australian East Coast has been experiencing. Trees are dropping branches and in general decline, due to excessive rainfall and waterlogged root systems. This work is a tribute to the loss of our natural environment due to changing climate conditions, and pays respect to all those who have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the recent floods. It also celebrates both Nature's and our resilience and ability to regenerate. Ecoprinted onto old wool blankets, using a wide variety of predominantly windfall Eucalyptus, Casuarina and Liquidambar leaves, collected sustainably from local street trees.
Wendy Joyce explores biophilia and how people can connect to nature. Using a technique called eco-printing, a direct collaboration with nature, colours and shapes are produced directly from plant material. Greenway Art Prize; Ryde SWAP Art Prize 2021.

Anchor Point Recent flooding brought images of deluge and destruction. Many were lost, but trees with the deepest roots managed to ride out the devastation; a parable for how we may manoeuvre the storms that will inevitably come. Follow Nature, and tether ourselves to something with strong, nourishing roots. Creating a connection to something deeply embedded may give us the strength to weather the currents around us.
Saskia Everingham is based in the NSW Blue Mountains. The arc of growth and decay in the bush around her informs her art, lending a particular immediacy to environmental concerns. Everingham tries to evoke compassion through her work, focusing on issues that need a tender response, in both the personal and political sphere. After working as a felter with wool for many years, she has recently begun incorporating other media in her work.

Garden Treasures reminds the viewer that change is inevitable. The metallic images will beam with the natural light of the day or artificial light at night. The surfaces will change with each hour, with the moving clouds and the seasons, reflecting the landscape and its temporary visitors. They will oxidise as they age, a natural mellowing of soft greens and blues that time brings to the patina of copper.
Andy Totman is a Sydney based artist. His practice covers four decades, hundreds of exhibitions, public and private collections and he has presented workshops across six continents. Better known as a printmaker, this work highlights his ability to comfortably cross into three dimensional forms.

Bouquet for Anne
This bouquet is for Anne, for Shirley, for Rae, for loved ones who have died of cancer. The open gesture of the bouquet symbolises the joy of living, a celebration of the present moment. As a gift, a bouquet accepts the ephemerality of life, offering love. The branches, fallen from drought- and fire-affected trees, are bandaged in recycled fabric, an act of care. This vibrant yellow cluster supports research for a cancer-free future.
Murray & Burgess are Ro Murray and Mandy Burgess, both National Art School honours graduates after careers as architects. Their widely exhibited large-scale installation work addresses environmental issues and human rights.

Sporangia
There is an abundance of knowledge about our natural world, yet there is still so much unknown, so much that has been forgotten, and so much that is yet to be understood. This is a work about potential knowledge. It is potentially the form of an undiscovered natural phenomena. It is potentially science fiction. It is potentially a magnified view from within your own body.

Natural Artificial Seedpods is the outcome of the artist's experimental exploration of the complex relationship between constructed and natural environments. She has played with interpretations of “natural” and “artificial” by translating seed pods and cones from local native plants into 3D printed forms. This process embraces human fallibility and the difficulties involved in turning organic shapes into algorithms for a machine to follow. The resulting forms represent the negative spaces in the seed pods, made solid and scaled up.
Gemma Mckenzie-Booth repurposes materials in her work to explore the relationship between constructed and natural environments. Bachelor of Visual Art (Hons), Sydney College of the Arts; Master of Cultural & Creative Industries Management , University of Technology Sydney.

Formata; a group of ceramic forms created when 3D crocheted forms are covered in layers of clay slip, then glaze fired. The gardens complete the work over time, as small insects interact with the openings in the forms. The ceramic forms recall suspended cocoons, or the chrysalis forms seen throughout gardens and bushland during times of transformation. The installation takes its name from a musical term fermata, which signals to the performer to hold the note past its normal duration, creating a prolonged sounded pause.
Allyson Adeney is a Sydney based multi-media artist working mainy in textiles and ceramics. She is interested in art that takes people by surprise, often showing work beyond gallery walls, in gardens, parks and cemeteries. Recently awarded an MFA from Sydney College of the Arts for her research regarding memory, brokenness and hope.

Message in a Bottle
is a social sculpture. The central element: a cascade of plastic milk bottles, each with a unique label – the copy of an artwork made by “Sea Worriers ” (students from Coast Seniors Centre and CP Art Therapy). Some have plants erupting from them, a sign that nature will ultimately prevail, despite the harm we continue to inflict. Although made principally from single use plastic, there is a sense of beauty and a strong aesthetic presence.
Belinda Piggott & Mary van den Berk collaborate in a creative practice concerned with the impact of humans on our planet.

Joyfully reClaym’ed is a light-hearted expression of community and sustainability, using interesting characters and expressions. Each piece is gentle portrait representation of a few inspiring individuals. While remaining un-named, these remarkable faces will entice curiosity and aim to inspire peace, happiness and the environment as they stand together in harmony with open minds looking into the future. In this space all is possible.
Mel Gras is a sculptor and maker who finds peace and joy working with clay. After discovering this amazing material twelve years ago she continues to learn about its rich history and through it, our long connection to our earth.

Stem the tide
We need to stem the tide of rising waste destined for landfill, or our oceans. Representations of plant stem cross-sections use locally sourced recycled materials in plentiful supply to comment on our consumer attitudes towards disposal and reuse. The shapes highlight a message of “circularity,” and the idea of an economy that operates in a renewing cycle, rather than on a linear path that culminates in disposal. Just as a stem supports a plant, our recycling efforts support our environment.
Nicole de Mestre can be found either in her overcrowded shed, or rifling through kerbside pick-up piles searching for inspiration. Her eclectic range of artistic works reflects a curious attachment to discarded materials, an increasing frustration with the prolific waste of modern society and a healthy obsession with rusty metal and old rope.

Transference creates an interactive space to be entered and inhabited. There is so much we don’t see outside our limited perceptive field. Plants communicate and share. Fungi is a kingdom of connectivity. Soil is alive. Place your mind within the intricately woven network of mycorrhizal biomass and become a symbiotic link aware of environmental connectivity. Open, sensory, nurturing, reciprocal – life flows in ecosystems of mutual benefit.
Leanne Thompson is multidisciplinary artist and is part of the KSCA artist collective, employing diverse creative practice as ‘terrain’ to explore environmental issues and cultural attitudes.

Cleansing Pool consists of tiles hand painted with stylised motifs of diverse local flora and fauna species, within formal architectural structures, diverse themselves in their cultural representation. The central mirror section references water as a symbol of cleansing. Hovering just above ground, this work references the formal garden architecture of the site, the adjacent garden 'rooms', inside the columns and archways of the 'poplar cathedral'.

Regenerate The regeneration of the landscape after the devastation of the 2019–2020 bushfires, where dead black wasteland contrasted with pockets of green regrowth, fascinated Marsden. It was nature at its most savage set against the fragile new shoots of life and the slow regeneration of the bush. In this work a strong dominant black structure cradles a smaller young pod, protecting it from the elements as it gains strength, finally breaking free from its covering shell to replace the dead protector.

Exciting Garden Detritus Gardens are frequently considered places where Nature is perfect: we maintain and manicure plants, constructing gleaming versions of ecologies and landscape. This work aims to focus on the opposite: celebrating the mess and detritus inherent in any garden. Here the the crisp, hedge-bordered lawn becomes a gallery where the paintings summon the energetic, exciting, chaotic reality of gardens and gardening practice.
Douglas Schofield is an emerging Sydney based artist working primarily in painting and printmaking.

I Made This For You
offers a gift to hidden lifeforms inhabiting Eden Gardens — the microorganisms, insects, fungi, gastropods and earth microbes. Art made with materials from extractive industries can be consumptive and contribute to harm. Instead, this piece offers reciprocity to the life forces and cycles that enable it. By using handmade pigments created from garden plants alongside watercolour paint, it is deliberately ephemeral, inviting organisms to consume, inhabit, and deconstruct it, bearing witness to nature nourishing art and in turn being nourished by it.
Clare James lives and works in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Her artworks reference the observations made in her own garden and in wild places, attempting to capture the intricacies, complex cycles and beauty of the natural world around her. Exhibited widely in Australia and the USA.

Swirl
Generally, people don’t know how plastics are made or what they’re made from or from what industry they originate. They are made from crude oil, coal, gas and cellulose, through a process of polymerisation. Swirl is made from recycled plastic bottle caps as a sculptural painting installation. If you stare long enough, you might find the work has perceptual illusionary properties that play with your visual perception ... much like the perceptual swirl of contemporary truths about coal and oil in our media.
