Artist’s Statement

Gardens play a significant role in the lives of many people. A garden can stimulate peace and tranquillity, provide fruit and vegetables seasonally, or a place for family gatherings, and social events. It can encourage a connection to nature, whilst prompting a sense of pride and achievement for its owner. I created these images by fusing plants and photographic materials over a period of time, a process of image-making I developed I call the biochrome.
