What is Roseland?

Roseland is an art project initiated in May 2006 which travels to different locations, each with its distinct cultural characteristics, such as urban or rural. In each location the work is linked through ideas of the ‘garden’. I use forms of garden architecture, accessories and tools, such as the garden shed, the summerhouse or gazebo; wheelbarrow or parasol; as well as flowers, plants and seeds to link the work across these different cultures. In each different location the project contains elements of sculpture, installation, live event and social exchange. The work has different emphases and takes different forms in each place so that I can respond to the different situations I encounter in each location.
