Revisiting Pine Rivers Gardens in Biochromes

4 – 31 May 2024

In Revisiting Pine Rivers Gardens in Biochromes, Renata Buziak takes an opportunity to revisit some of the gardeners from the Pine Rivers region who opened their precious gardens, and homes, to share their stories with Renata Buziak and Lynette (Spry) Letic in 2015. Renata’s biochrome works present each garden through the transformation of its flora in biochromes, while Lynette photographed places and their owners.

Why gardens? 
Gardens play a significant role in the lives of many people. A garden can stimulate peace and tranquillity, provide fruit and vegetables seasonally, or be a place for family gatherings and social events. It can foster fitness and recreational activity, or encourage a connection to nature, whilst prompting a sense of pride and achievement in the owner. Residential gardens are also an essential resource for flora and fauna habitats, assisting in the maintenance of biodiversity within the region. People of diverse backgrounds or locations place unique values on their gardens and what they plant, from exotic or imported specimens, to carefully chosen native, edible plants, or even ones of sentimental worth.
