Some details of a total delight of a job, responding to this beautiful, sprawling collection of spaces, with a perfect, spatial, brief... With 28 years experience in contemporary visual art, installations, site-specific public art & events, transforming spaces is what we do best. We look for areas of opportunity to highlight & do damage control on other elements; creating an immersive, spatial experience in line with your context & brief. All utilising locally farmed & foraged, seasonal materials. “Magnificent!!!!” according to our happy client.

Twilight trading in McLaren Vale tonight until 7pm... Place an order for your festive bunch, centrepiece or wreath, fresh or dried, & go into the draw to win hundreds of dollars of offerings from local businesses, drawn tonight in the piazza.
All of our work is local, compostable or recyclable, without foam. We also have vouchers & create bespoke subscriptions. And if you have never seen where or how we work, pop your head in and share a drink with us!

Recent local bunches pictured, including one with a native seedling woven into the offering, along with a succulent to plant out...

Farewell flowers for our legendary neighbour Val, made solely from harvested materials from her own amazing garden (that I see every day & have coveted for the last 8 years), you are already missed & were a plant & animal breeding champion as well as a general life inspiration for myself & my girls... An honour to send you off, at 82, wrapped in the wondrous materials of your own making. x

Check out our Christmas installation @ellisbutchers1954 when you are next in the Vale...channelling a little Northern “hygge” whilst heading into an Australian Summer (nothing like a bit of creative tension...). #hygge #hyggekunst #jul #julepynt #julekranse #christmas #cosy

“The future will belong to the nature-smart - those individuals, families, businesses & political leaders who develop a deeper understanding of the transformative power of the natural world & who balance the virtual with the real. The more high-tech we become, the more nature we need.” Richard Louu
The beauty of harvesting raw materials this week; barley, wheat & peas (& almost oats) from the paddock edges of an old family friend. Thanks Rodney...

One of the best flowering afternoons of my life...wine, cheese, artistic friendship & being able to walk out the door to pick these stunning materials, at my whim, & weave them into this offering. Unreal.
Thanks so much to fellow flowersmith Anna @gooseberryhillflowers, for growing those flowers, for ongoing & generous shared creativity (watch this space), & excellent snaps.

Our cosy old Inn/studio by night... Now taking orders for fresh & dried seasonal wreaths, centrepieces, hanging features & botanical installations, celebrating the life-force of nature (with a Southern flavour or Northern Hemisphere nod, depending on your orientation).

“Regrowth” stage installation (without backdrops, & very well-tied to the stage to stop the tent movement, in 50 knot winds, knocking it over), details & (heavy) arrangements for outdoors on the wild, windy day that was #mvbushinglunch19 @scpannell

Sometimes 6 metre flower spikes & 2-3 metre lengths of foliage are what is required to meet the scale of a space... Thanks to all my amazing installation helpers (it takes a team, especially in 35 degree Spring weather). Our inspiration was “Regrowth”, after a fire, with the lunch by the best local chefs featuring a chargrilled and fire influenced menu.
Big congratulations to the Leask boys too from @hither_yon, the 2019 Bushing monarchs. #mvbushinglunch19
