Walled Garden
Brazierspark, Oxfordshire, England, August 2005

The work Walled Garden in Braziers Park, Oxfordshire, England,
focuses attention to the strange form of this historic wall; it is curved
and flows down from the hill, in different angles. It quite remarkable
that even the bricks in the wall are not horizontal. I accentuated this
strange situation by adding a horizontal line, a basic element found in
the Dutch landscape, using painted wood and steel brackets. Looking up
at the wall from ground level, the line actually seems to go up in both
directions to the left and right end of the wall. Only when viewed from
the opposite hill, from a position at the same height as the wall, one
can see a really horizontal line. The color I added to the wood is a very
artificial bluish-green, to stand out against all the natural colors in
this environment.
