Installation Art & Spaces

Rewild the world

As a studio specialising in creating immersive experiences, thoughtfully transforming spaces with locally farmed & foraged botanical materials, our work is all about connection; between people, place & the natural landscape around us. 

We create site-specific & wonder-filled installation artworks, immersive multi-element landscape-like experiences, large-scale nature sculptures, & poetic (often spatial) event responses. Working across installation art, public art, garden interventions, interior design, event design & floristry, Hope & her team create wild beauty with plants, botanicals (fresh & dried) & mixed-media elements. Everything created is one-of-a-kind, seasonally materials-led & conceptually driven (including being responsive to a brief regarding context/ resources/ intention, as well as place & site if spatial). 

Hope is committed to creating & strengthening a local visual botanical language, that speaks “of here”, fostering relationships between locals, visitors, growers, artists & the environment. With our specialisation in immersive spatial artworks, we showcase the beauty of South Australia & especially, the landscapes of the McLaren Vale region. Our interior creative responses are about bringing the outside in…connecting spaces and people to the landscape & environments around them. We are also experienced in transforming exterior environments, to enable greater connections between people and the wonders of the natural world, and between the built-form and the land around it. For the ultimate bespoke service we can forage & harvest from your environment (or work with your gardeners), to source any materials required.

Importantly, Harvest Studio adheres to a holistic quadruple bottom-line, with the contribution of positive cultural, environmental, social and economic outcomes as our guiding principles.
