NSWDPIRD Seed Vault and Growth Rooms Envirographics
We were presented with a unique challenge for this project: To create envirographics that are scientifically accurate, rooted in peer-reviewed research on the history and science of growing wheat and rice, yet imaginative enough to captivate senior executives, policy-makers, visiting ministers, and the broader public.

We conveyed the scientific heritage and ongoing work of plant researchers in immersive envirographics for the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (NSWDPIRD Seed Vault and Growth Rooms.
This 155 m² visual installation put into focus, the plant researchers, agriculture specialists, and pathologists who are safeguarding Australia’s staple crops (particularly wheat, rice, and other cereal seeds) for future food security.
The challenge was to create artwork that was scientifically accurate, rooted in peer-reviewed research on the history and science of wheat, yet compelling and imaginative enough to captivate senior executives, policy-makers, visiting ministers, and the broader public.
“Rach immersed herself in the finer scientific details to ensure the artwork was accurate. From the history of wheat, to the lifecycle of septoria leaf blotch disease and ensured every element was scientifically accurate while still capturing imagination and curiosity. What she delivered went far beyond what we expected. An unexpected surprise was the elevated sense of pride from our staff. Not only do the envirographics look impressive, they articulate our collective purpose.”
