Glasshouse Gardens

Made as a way of reflecting on how we view and experience nature, especially in an urban environment.

I am interested in botanical gardens and conservatories as examples of curated nature, even as they provide a connection to plant life. By capturing the presence of people who take care of these places, I wanted to acknowledge the effort needed to sustain them. The fragmented nature of the images echoes the way our eyes move around a space. Conservatory structures, walkways and handrails are shown throughout, emphasizing the fact that this is an artificial environment, but also questioning the binary distinction between natural and man-made.
