An installation exploring the edge of a forest, through drawing and sound by ANNY EVASON and Jamie Griffiths, digital media.
The Garden Enclosed' reflects upon species loss (birds in particular), that result from the drive to tame the wild and the consequences of the reduction of diversity that results from deforestation, while also acknowledging the ancient practice of gardens and the creativity of gardening.
Anny has created large scale charcoal drawings on paper of a Sussex woodland, that you walk into and among. The birdsong emanates and shifts as you enter the room. Her works are towering, dark and powerful. You feel as though you are entering into a slightly dangerous world, beyond your control. As you move through the drawings, you journey through from the wild to simplicity.. to the metaphoric equivalent of the garden... the cultivated.. the controlled... to the pool of water and sky.
"An invitation to the audience to ramble through time and space, from untamed wildwood to the deceptively tranquil order of the historical walled garden. Sound and image prompt the viewer to consider our relationship with gardens and our desire to control unpredictable nature." Anny Evason
