biography

Hugh Grant is a bonsai professional and runs Tree Makers, specialising in local trees and plants as bonsai subjects. "Tree Making" is an inquiry into the Australian landscape. With designs based in sustainable bonsai practices, our work explores forms from the Australian landscape. The work is informed by quintessential native living structures that represent both culture and nature. We seek to create a bridge of accessibility to Australian bonsai as an art form. Hugh's studio and garden, Tree Makers, is a professional garden, nursery, creative studio, and supply store. We are at the forefront of deciphering and creating techniques for new Australian native species as well as informing how to best cultivate non-native species in the Australian climate. In our garden, we build and refine trees through our school, offering education for students to build trees alongside us. We offer maintenance and design services for clients, and welcome commission work for one-of-a-kind pieces, as well as curation of bonsai in public and private spaces. Additionally, we offer a range of trees for sale from raw-design-ready material, specimens in production, to refined, highly executed bonsai specimens.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF NGURRA

The City of the Blue Mountains is located within the Ngurra (Country) of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples. MTNS MADE recognises that Dharug and Gundungurra Traditional Owners have a continuous and deep connection to their Country and that this is of great cultural significance to Aboriginal people, both locally and in the region. For Dharug and Gundungurra People, Ngurra takes in everything within the physical, cultural and spiritual landscape – landforms, waters, air, trees, rocks, plants, animals, foods, medicines, minerals, stories and special places. It includes cultural practice, kinship, knowledge, songs, stories and art, as well as spiritual beings, and people: past, present and future. Blue Mountains City Council pays respect to Elders past and present while recognising the strength, capacity and resilience of past and present Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Blue Mountains region.

MTNS MADE is proudly delivered by Blue Mountains City Council
