Green Noise is Tove Spary's reflection on her experiences with Ihi Ora, the Grafton based mental health services. Her work explores the lived disharmony between her trans-self and her material conditions. Ihi Ora, a brutal concrete and glass structure, is enveloped on all sides by the lush greenery of Pukekawa, Auckland Domain. The building is transformed by its surroundings and function into a sanctuary.
This contradiction of organic and man made environments mirrors Tove’s relationship with her external world, reimagining it through a space of therapy and transformation.
