Narelle Dore is a colour researcher working in botanics, floristry and creative industries. Her practice has been shaped by a decade of working in academic institutions, the fashion industry, natural dye and botanical studios.
Her current research focus includes building a physical touching colour library, cultivating a floral dye garden and stimulating senses through colour and synesthesia.
A key driver for Narelle is bringing audiences closer to natural processes and sharing intergenerational knowledge of crafts linked to the botanical world. She focuses on connecting the viewer to their senses, bringing them closer to both their internal and external environment whilst exploring the behaviour of colour as an insight to human behaviour and perceptions.
