CLAIRE GILLAM

Botanic Philharmonia exhibits Claire Gillam’s Plant Band (2017) and Maestro (2019) together for the first time. This fantastical musical collaboration of native flora, specifically designed robotic instruments and processing synthesizers explores the universe of plant based creative performance and generative music making.

SUSAN ECKER

Seeking iconographic descriptions of Western Australia, Ecker concentrates on enduring elements - the land, rock formation, the river. Her work explores, extracts and reconstructs those elements to evoke memory and to confirm that images strongly present are, at once, real and abstract.
