Sharon Peoples is one of three selectors for the Australia Wide Seven exhibition. Her invitational artwork is Helping in the Garden.
This piece sits within a body of work, Hortus Conclusus (the Enclosed Garden), made during a period of intense isolated work in both the garden and the studio. Many birds visited the garden as soil was dug, overturned and mulched. In particular the willie wagtails would chatter, chucka! chucka! chucka! as I dealt with the cabbage moths which were intent on feeding on the broccoli. Lace-like structures are used to underwrite the fragility in balancing our environment.
