Jo Brown is an artist with a deep interest in local botany. As a botanical designer she takes familial plants and elevates them to iconic status. From a perception of chaos and the other (as an immigrant), she finds the symmetry in nature.

‘Our brains crave symmetry, an ordering of chaos. There is a stillness in the centre of a symmetrical artwork that I am drawn to; working with symmetry is a centring process.’
