Carnival of Flowers

Genestreaming Journey Sculpture 
The sculpture’s Inward facing petals feature indigenous art of Bunya Mountains flora and fauna (Albany, Western Australia)

As lead artist Ben Beeton says, ‘When you enter this model, you are entering as a representative of the human species, in this special evolutionary tree.’

Outward facing petals feature Mali Moir’s western scientific botanical illustrations of Bunya Mountains flora and fauna 
A similar sculpture can be found at the twin creeks conservation reserve 

In collaboration with Toowoomba Regional Council

 Cotton is a major player in Australia’s economy. Most farms, 90% are family owned thanks to innovation irrigation techniques. The journey from seed to shirt, spans three seasons. Seeds go in the ground during spring, and four months later cotton balls the plant’s fruit-burst forth. The balls are then harvested by machines and whisked off to cotton gins, where the lint is separated from the seeds. Each bale weights 227kg is sold and transformed into the clothes we wear


Home to 2,000 species of native bees from the chunky black and yellow carpenter bees to the dapper blue-banded bees and the tiny 2mm Quasihesma bees. These bees have been perfecting their pollination skills alongside Australia’s unique flora over thousands of years.
