Janet Laurence’s The Alchemical Garden of Desire is the second exhibition, in a series, where an artist has been invited to produce a body of work relating to McClelland’s surrounding environment (the first exhibition in 2010 was Andrew Browne: From the Periphery).
Laurence’s work can be described as a synthesis of nature, science and architecture and incorporates mixed media such as photography, glass, installation and sculpture.
This 48pp full colour catalogue is a comprehensive insight into Laurence’s previous works, highlighting her distinctive approach to investigating intricate aspects of the environment. Also featured is a documentation of her newest work, The alchemical garden of desire, with photography by John Gollings.
