Well well well
The wishing well of the vernacular garden becomes a vessel to explore the relationship between the individual and the natural world.
Overtoned with desire, the pervasive image of paradise evokes escape as much as arrival. In contrast to the state of paradise, which suggests a spiritual reconciliation of the individual with their environment; the place evoked by image is decidedly materialistic - something to be obtained rather than attained.
A chanting garden.
A garden of wishing wells is constructed on the forest fringe, integrating elements of global industry: walls of stacked shipping pallets, oil-drum wishing-wells and a carpet of pennies. As visitors move through the garden the oil-drums resonate low-frequency sound in response to their movement. Based on the Schumann Resonance, electromagnetic harmonics of the Earth, the etherial sound is a visceral experience that metaphorically links the local experience of the garden to a global environmental phenomenon.
