Auckland, 2025
Tangled roots
An exhibition about grasses — where they came from, how they shaped civilisations, and why they still matter. Spanning ecology, history, art, and play, the show traces wheat, rice, maize, and sugar from ancient grasslands to the everyday.
The design worked with what was already there and repurposed — existing movable walls, recycled materials, and support of the botanical gardens community for the build.
