Understorey is a site-specific treasure hunt that speaks to the dreamer child in each of us. Half hidden amongst the moss, tree stumps, pine cones and leaf matter of the Arboretum a series of very small scale, playful projection works are placed for groups and individuals to discover as they wander along the Pine Walk path. 

As if springing from a child’s whimsical imagination Understorey creates a secret, magical world where wanderers are enticed to play and discover the unexpected joy contained in these fanciful moments.
