Genius Loci refers to a place’s atmosphere or “sprit”. This work is a response to place exploring the associations and atmosphere of a contemporary suburban locale seen through the ideas of an outsider. Manicured gardens, hedges, high walls, and topiary inspire a reflection on class, colonialism, 17th century European garden design and its values of control over nature This work playfully appropriates the landscape in a quasi-mystical simulacra. The “spirit of place “is personified and sits on a walker. Some of the materials were sourced from hard rubbish debris and the plastic topiary balls are available at Bunnings.
Steel, ply, plastic hedge tile.
