Garden I

As I have no studio space at the moment I have started to make some work in the garden. I have made an installation connecting two parts of the garden using white thread.

This is not a million miles away from my studio work, creating planes in space and affecting the way people are allowed to move around the space. However it is certainly very different making work in an outside space. You have very little control over the environment. There is more to work with but there are more restrictions. 

Owing to the less than perfect surroundings it is easy to be less of a perfectionist, the work seems more free. For example the ties connecting the thread to the fence are not all exactly the same and I have not trimmed the excess thread. It seems futile to do so when the fence panels themselves are so decrepit and imperfect. 

 I had barely finished installing the work and spiders were already colonising it.
