The second Botanical Art Worldwide Project, Bountiful Botanicals, focuses on and celebrates biodiversity in the crops that have been closely associated with the human species over thousands of years. The theme is designed to draw attention to the vast variety of food and useful plants available, in contrast with the relatively few varieties currently used in mass cultivation. Plants eligible for inclusion are those cultivated for food, textiles, building, energy, and medicine.
In Australia the exhibition is to feature plant species that are Bush Foods, Medicinal and Utilitarian Plants indigenous to Australia. This may include natural hybrids and cultivars.
Entries have been solicited from botanical artists across Australia and selected by an experienced jury. From these selected works, 40 have been chosen to be sent digitally around the world for viewing in the other participating countries. Those chosen showcase both the talent of our botanical artists and the diversity of our native flora, as well as First Nations’ knowledge and care of our amazing indigenous plants.
