In the summer of 2011, I had the opportunity to work at Painswick Rococo Gardens again, this period of work cumulating in a site-specific pinhole photographic installation shown at the summer sculpture exhibition.

The installation built on my MA work and addressed one of the design principles behind the Rococo Garden, that of inward looking vistas and attempted to challenge our experience of this particular constructed landscape by highlighting the absence in our experience of the other places shown by the panels.

The installation consisted of two large (200cm by 100cm) pinhole photographs printed onto Acrylic with text. Each pinhole photograph depicted a ‘vista’ taken in the surrounding countryside, the text however was the latitude, longitude, date and time of the installation, the actual location of the panels. Each panel was suspended between two trees in the woodland area of the garden.

The work was short listed and then awarded the Trustees award for 2011
