Paradise Lost
"What in me is dark
Illumine, what is Iow raise and support,
That to the height of this great argument
may assert eternal Providence,
And justify the ways of God to men."
John Milton
Paradise Lost. Book 2 Line 22
Upon entering the garden the visitors find themselves in the midst of a process of spiritual uplifting, release and transformation. The visitors bear witness as the garden buckles and parts, as though some unseen force were raising it off the ground with the loftiest parts of the uprooted landscape blossoming in vivid colour. The organic curvature of the garden exposes the underlying wooden sub-structure lifting it off its bed of sand.
Triumphantly, a small patch of garden fully shakes away its earthly bonds and lifts off into the sky, as though it were summoned to ascend and take its place amongst the gardens of
Paradise.
