WINTER GARDEN

10 December 2001 – 23 February, 2002

WINTER GARDEN was an artwork made to be experienced over time by people who lived and walked about in this neighborhood, through sunshine, darkness, snowfall, wind, ice and rain. It is a double-sided work, looking backwards to summer and forwards to spring. It relies on seduction and surprise to capture the viewer’s imagination and release associations with its materiality, form and placement.

The flowers used were recycled from a work entitled GARDEN that  artist made in the summer of 2001 at the Murney Tower in Kingston.  In that work the artificiality of the flowers was obscured by the way they were planted in the ditch so as to blend in with already-exisiting vegetation.  In WINTER GARDEN, artificiality is on display, even celebrated.
