I have always been inspired by the seasons. The absence of Winter, the<br />

awakened fresh growth of Spring, high Summer downiness and the<br />

earth-muted palette of Autumn hues, a detritus that reveals the unexpected<br />

beauty. It’s these nuances that inspire me, a chance to capture a moment that<br />

I know will pass before another has its time of temporary prominence. This<br />

work is an emotional response to my relationship with plants, being able to<br />

represent the movement and individuality that makes them unique to me. A<br />

poem by E. E. Cummings has been an inspiration, to capture the beauty of life<br />

and death in the garden. The ‘flower curled’ as it fades is as pleasing to me as<br />

when in full bloom.<br />

My brother and I have been designing gardens for some time, it’s a job that<br />

inspires us greatly but also provides us with a strong sense of appreciation for<br />

the natural landscape. We have designed gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show<br />

and our private work finds us both in the UK and abroad.
