Furari Flores | Cara-Ann Simpson

14 November - 17 January

Furari Flores presents the work of Cara-Ann Simpson, exploring the relationship between sound, plants, and lived experience. The Latin titles of her 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 hidden vibrations of plant life. Growing from Cara-Ann’s experiences with serious illness, the project explores storytelling, health and wellbeing, home, and the symbiotic relationships between humans and plants, inviting audiences into a world of multisensory botanical magic and deep listening.
