An exhibition by Kate Smith celebrating and drawing attention to the dramatic, quirky and intricate shapes found in the seed pods of Australian native plants.
Kate’s interest in drawing pods began when visiting an area of the Blue Mountains National Park that had recently been burnt out by bushfire. Most of the foliage and greenery had been destroyed, but the blackened branches and seed pods of banksias and hakeas remained.
The dramatic shapes of the pods stood out, and Kate realised she had often overlooked these in favour of colourful flowers and foliage.
The main focus of the exhibition is a series of larger scale drawings and paintings, with a central display of seed pods and natural materials.
