object | space | place
So this was a wonderful first! In November 2020 I partnered with DesignFreo and created a bespoke essential oil blend to transform the space of the Object | Space | Place exhibition.
The challenge of this project was finding a way to project the aroma across the vast main gallery space at the Fremantle Arts Centre. And to keep it running every day for two months.
We found a way.
The blend was also bottled and became what is now known as Ground.
This blend combines top notes of Lemon and Spearmint, middle notes of Fennel Sweet and Rosemary and deeper notes of Clary Sage and Vetiver.
It manages to bring you to life and ground you - both at the same time.
Ground
The anatomy of a blend.
LEMON
Sharp, citrus, refreshing; lifts the blend. Spreads its happiness and optimism.
SPEARMINT
Herbaceous and minty, softer than peppermint. Gentle and uplifting.
ROSEMARY
Fresh, strong, vibrant, herbaceous, energising.
FENNEL
Spicy, warm, comforting, energising.
CLARY SAGE
Earthy, muted floral. Grounding and earthy.
VETIVER
Earthy, woody, incredibly grounding. Realistic and comforting.
