Oil, emulsion and paint pens on wood and canvas.

1×1.7m

Formerly the 1.7x5m painting which provided the background for the photographic portraits of academicians made during the Court Painter Residency at the Royal West of England Academy of Art, reworked as a pentaptych. Each panel represents both the constant growing and dying flora (plants and flowers) and the theatre of fauna (animals) within a garden. When fully assembled it is an altarpiece to what one might call ‘gardening as method’.
