Carved from the ancient sediment of Mt Gambier limestone, Fertile Echo embodies the tension between form and void, growth and erosion. This biomorphic sculpture resists singular interpretation—do you see a creature, mid-gesture, crowned with moss and teeming with life? Or is it a fungal bloom, an eruption of unseen vitality? Created during the 2024 Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show demonstration, this work speaks to the curious and enduring persistence of nature.
