Such are the joys Photograph - Limited Edition of 6

Such are the joys of a natural garden, in which not every weed is mercilessly persecuted and killed. Self-sown in the garden, that much is certain. A type of grain, I suspect. Perhaps barley, rye or wheat. This photograph is from my ongoing cycle An Imperfect Garden. Relinquishing the notion of control has become a fundamental theme in my gardening. This approach challenges conventional views of both, art and gardening. The garden utilises the wabi sabi principles of embracing the natural, the imperfect and the impermanent. It blends these ideas with gardening the natural way. Many of the photographs from this cycle are also used in my book 'An Imperfect Garden', which can be bought from my website. Prints are produced in-house by myself on archival quality Awagami Kozo Thick White paper (110gsm). Kozo, the fibre from the mulberry tree, is the most traditional fibre used in Japanese papermaking. The fibres are much longer than those from materials used in Western papers. They produce exceptionally strong paper. Prints ship flat in a box. The dimensions quoted are the size of the paper. There is a white margin around the actual image. Prints are numbered and signed and come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Suitable for framing.
