Furari Flores
By Cara-Ann Simpson

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 Cara-Ann’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.
