About

All Flesh is Grass is a document about the power of landscape and art to sustain, emphasising the physical ' soil, water, vegetation; and the emotional ' joy, fear, sadness. All flesh is grass.
The exhibition consists of drawings from both Grenville and John, a photography piece of the Olympic Park, and Grenville's sculptures. The sculptures are from his solo exhibition Little Emperor, part of Canary Wharf's ongoing 'Sculpture in the Workplace' series. John's drawings are diagrams which have critical meaning, capturing the importance of delivering a vision. In this context the drawing takes on a different meaning.
