Naarm, meaning “place” in the Woiwurrung language of the Kulin Nation, anchors this artwork, which highlights the cultural significance of Kangaroo Grass (Themeda triandra) in nurturing biodiverse futures for the Wurundjeri people. It contrasts the delicate beauty of native grasses with the dramatic skylines and visible sky of Melbourne’s urban landscape, exploring the impact of the Hoddle Grid, high-rise development, and urbanisation on our connection to the sky and Country. By juxtaposing these elements, the artwork envisions a more resilient and biodiverse future for Melbourne’s CBD.
