Enter a world of multisensory botanical magic and join the artist, Cara-Ann Simpson, on a journey of deep listening, Earth admiration and plant love. Furari Flores explores the relationship between sound, plants and lived experience. The Latin titles of Cara-Ann’s artworks reflect the continued use of Latin in contemporary sciences, evoking poetry, symbolism and the irony of a “dead” language dedicated to life and regeneration.

Using spectrography, field-recorded soundscapes are transformed into real-time visual compositions that reveal the complexity of relationships between plants and their environments. Growing from Simpson’s experiences with serious illness, the project explores storytelling, health and wellbeing, home, and the symbiotic relationships between humans and plants.

Cara-Ann Simpson is represented by Onespace, Brisbane. Furari Flores is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
