About
Set against the beautiful backdrop of RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate, ‘ Invasive Species’ is an exhibition by the Yorkshire Sculptors Group that offers visitors the chance to see work made for the gardens dealing with ideas around nature, humanity and control.
Planning for the exhibition started last year but many of the artists found themselves changing their ideas and having to adapt their practice during lockdown. The uncertain times have led to work which often challenges the viewer to engage with ideas beyond the garden. In ‘Feminist Escape Route’ artist Paula Chambers has used macrame to construct a rope ladder from washing line and rolling pins. In this time when lockdown has forced many women back into the home it hangs, just out of reach, from the branch of a tree. Meanwhile social distancing is referenced by Lewis Robinson’s ’12 x 2 = 24’, an installation made by casting the interior space of 12 pairs of old shoes and boots, laid out in a 2 metre grid formation.
