Double Take: Photography and the Garden

This exhibition curated by Kate Best brought together photographs taken over 25 years by Gertrude Jekyll, and works by Helen Sear , Mark Edwards and Sarah Jones. There was an accompanying catalogue. Six of Jekyll's original photo albums are now in the collection at the University of California, Berkeley. By looking at Jekyll's photographs through the prism of contemporary projects we can look again-make a double-take- at images often passed over as illustrations....The works encourage the consideration and interconnections between the endeavours of gardening and photography, both situated in the tension between the human desire to shape the world and the ultimate transience of our existence
