The Garden

"The Garden" is a composite photograph from the Imaginary Norfolk series, created by layering multiple exposures of a real-world garden. The in-camera movement and layering transform the actual place into a painterly, abstract reinterpretation. A large, central form suggests a tree, surrounded by soft blurs of color that hint at a lawn and sky. The overall effect is one of a dreamy, imagined space, blurring the line between a photograph and a painting.
