Jo Chapman

Secret Garden 2009

Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge

Commissioned to create an external artwork for the new halls of residence at Anglia Ruskin University. The work was developed from the history of the site as the 'garden school' and used imagery and text relating to memories from the pupils.

The final work consisted of a 6x2m corten steel drawing wrapped around the entrance wall and two 7x7m garden areas that included planting and corten text panels that read as a continuous poem when walking around the garden.
