About

Started in 2005, Greenmeme is the continuing vision of artists Freya Bardell and Brian Howe, where a collaborative group of artists, ecologists, architects, scientists and builders come together to create sustainable, ecologically focused work which varies in scale, materiality and context. Through these experimental partnerships, our strategies of representation are in a constant state of research and design. From living walls to interactive installations, our work provides multi-layered experiences of unique urban and natural ecosystems, integrating living, playful sculptures into informative environments.

We're currently working on these projects...
