Mr White lived in the house before us with his family for more than 60 years. During lockdown my daughters and I dug the earth and planted seeds in the garden. We began mud larking while we worked on the soil. The process unearthed ‘treasures’ which we collect as mementos of Mr White’s past life. These ‘finds’ were loving cleaning and mounted onto one of his fence panels. The once lost items are being given their time again. A tribute to Mr White’s life.
Mr White’s Garden (2020): Sculpture; wood, metal, plastic, glass, ceramics, clay and formica.
