West London is littered with gorgeous garden spaces, most of which are enclosed behind wrought iron and preserved for those who can afford the astronomical cost of living in the area. I've always felt quite bitter about being locked out of these paradisaical spaces and so I've started a series trying to capture the tension of urban garden spaces and the commodification and gentrification of nature. This is Bramham Square, a lovely space (by the looks of it) with some fairly foreboding iron gates. This is a three layer print with the vibrant background halftones contrasting with the block black cage in the foreground. More to come on these prints, including some work with leaves I "liberated" from the gardens.
