About the event
An exhibition celebrating botanical art and garden history in Western Australia by Annie Kavanagh of the Roselyn Project.
Alice - Between parlour and garden is a week long exhibition giving audiences an opportunity to immerse themselves in, and engage in conversations about, colonial gardens and their significance to those who tended them and were inspired by them.
It is part of an ongoing investigation by photographic artist, Annie Kavanagh, who is researching the history of her own colonial garden at Roselyn the Wheatbelt property where she lives.
Alice is a fictional character based on the First Lady of Roselyn who lived there from 1887.
