Gardeners World (Future) (2011)
Materials: 600 x 400 x 100 mm grasscrete blocks provide a base for vegetation and the structure. Structure defined by C&C cut from 8 by 4 birch veneered plywood sheet material.365 pieces, 1220 X 240 X 18mm, are slot jointed. Completed by tinted/mirrored acrylic sheet material, 12mm nylon rope and pulleys.
Gardener’s World (Future) invites people to walk through the town and its landscape from ‘the big chapel’ via the abbey meadow through the moat field, to the under pass of the by-pass and along and over the millrace to the brick lined walled garden of Westcourt Demesne. Wherein is constructed a structure (perhaps a future potting shed for its gardeners) to register, through its placement and periscope window, the vertical, intimate and enclosing relationship between the heritage of landscape (cultivated & pasture) and townscape.
Associated events: Callan born playwright Thomas Kilroy will read from his novel The Big Chapel in Gardener’s World Future during National Heritage Week in late August 2011. Garden historian Terence Reeves-Smyth will give a talk on Irish walled gardens and a walking tour to Westcourt on Friday 5th August.
