Published in 1980, this artist’s book collects together a series of black and white photographs of an outdoor garden documenting the transformations taking place ‘from Spring 1974 to Spring 1979’ with an accompanying text by the artist.
Shelagh Wakely (1932-2011) was part of the British Sculpture Movement of the 1980s, with fellow artists Richard Deacon, Shirazeh Houshiary, Barry Flanagan and Anish Kapoor, amongst others. With a prolific career spanning more than four decades, Wakely produced an impressive body of work comprising sculpture, installation, drawings, prints and video.
This is a rare example of Wakely’s writing and book work. Many themes of the artist’s approach to installation are foregrounded here with close attention to the dynamics between domestic objects and their environment.
