23: Anna Perch-Nielsen - Topiary Garden

E-mail Print

Anna’s work is primarily an investigation of space. Her sculptures and installations are large and ambitious works that make use of a variety of media. Their scale and content require the viewer to enter into a relationship with the space that the pieces occupy, both physically and psychologically.

Title of work – Topiary Garden

My work is primarily an investigation of space.

The print takes as its starting point the recognisable, cultivated space of the garden. This is then abstracted and flattened. It becomes an imaginary, uninhabited space, incorporating elements of gardens that have been collaged together in a seamless way

By positioning the print within a real garden, the print both echoes and contrasts with the plants that surround it. The print offers an alternative space for the viewer to explore.

Big Things on the Beach is a public art trust in Portobello, a seaside suburb close to the city centre of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was formed by a group of residents in 2003 to explore the potential of the seafront as a site for engagement with public artworks by both emerging and established artists.

Since 2004 we have commissioned artists to create substantial temporary artworks, trained ourselves and others in the process of commissioning public artworks through international site visits and guest lectures and successfully raised funding to these ends.

Our current project - The Big Welcome - is supported by Creative Scotland, Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership and Edinburgh City Libraries
