The Grotto

Shell Space, Melbourne
15 - 17 May 2026

Presented by Hilary Green and Spiraro, The Grotto presents functional designs using site-specific materials such as seaweed and rocks found at Victorian beaches. By reimagining an interior space that values organic materials, forms and textures in contemporary design, this immersive experience explores alternative approaches to living closer to the natural world. The exhibition includes sculptural objects, lamps and furniture, all made from biomaterials, clay, found objects and natural fibres. Through this project, both artists bring together their interests in sustainable materials and sculpture to create an interior that blurs boundaries between natural and constructed worlds.




Spiraro acknowledges that their work is primarily made on the stolen land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation.
