Simone chose the formal flower garden as a site for her work for its symbolic power. As a highly designed folly in the shape of a flower, it reminds us that the City Botanic Gardens is a constructed space - a museum of nature that celebrates its diversity. Now a lifeless ossuary of bleached cast skeletal remains of animals, fish and coral, the deathly site references the garden’s early history as a zoo, but more importantly, our dangerous future. Simone sees this graveyard as a prescient foreboding of a dying world caused by the folly of human-induced climate change.
