When Charles Darwin studied living things, seeing a specimen was never enough. He walked and talked with the botanist Henslow, he collected samples, and his 'study and greenhouse were cluttered with pots growing' things.1 In the garden plants adapt and evolve. I experience with joy and with trepidation the changing seasons, cycles of growth, the transient and unpredictable. Planting, protecting, weeding, and nurturing, I collaborate with nature and attempt to reveal something we cannot see, a hidden landscape of the physical and psychological. In this space, time passes. Things live, die, decay and grow - and nature and culture play their part in the momentum of a never ending cycle. 1 'Darwin and Botany' by Stephen Montgomery, www.christs.cam.ac.uk
