When I was in Melbourne I dropped into the Urban Arboreal:The Tree in the Grid exhibition in the City Gallery in the Melbourne Town Hall. This exhibition explores images of trees in the city environment. Guest curator David Hansen combined archival images and objects selected from the City of Melbourne's Art and Heritage Collections with sculptures, drawings and prints by eight contemporary artists: Robert Bridgewater, Julie Gough, Lucy Griggs, Kristin Headlam, Vin Ryan, Andrew Seward, Catherine Truman and Kim Westcott.

Nature has been banished from the city to produce the built environment and this is the way nature makes its cultivated reappearance.

I lost the exhibition catalogue when I was exploring Hosier Lane and I cannot recall the words.
