Description

In Touch with the Earth, Elizabeth and Paul (Closeburn), Renata Buziak uses an experimental photographic process that she developed and called the biochrome. This process fuses plant samples and photographic emulsions over a period of time, allowing organic decomposition to transform both materials into new, abstract, yet often accurately depicted, images of plants.

“The main things I really enjoy about this place is being able to be in touch with nature. Gardening is about the four elements: it’s about earth, fire, water and air. You’re in touch with the earth, you need the sun and water to make the plants grow, and fresh air is a part of all that too.
“We’ve tried to extend the Riverine Rainforest along the creek as much as possible. We’ve planted cabinet timber. We have flower gardens. I’ve got a little cottage garden growing roses and other things like that. But basically, the garden is very large and has a huge variety, a very large botanical collection of all sorts of things.” – Elisabeth

My Love of Nature, Elisabeth (Strathpine) features in Renata’s solo exhibition Revisiting Pine Rivers Gardens in Biochromes
