British artist Ian Berry took a secret garden at the Children's Museum of the Arts.
The vines hung from the ceiling to the air, connected with plants such as cacti, chrysanthemums, and aloes that grew upwards. During the dance of the butterfly, a small hare was hidden behind the grass, and a small space looked full of vitality. However, all plants and animals are painted in indigo. Look closely and you will find that they all have a rough twill.
Ian Berry is building his secret garden
Not surprisingly, the entire garden is indeed made of old denim. Those who know Ian Berry may smile when they walk into this garden. He is an artist who is obsessed with old denim. This cloth, which is familiar to the public, is the only material he uses in creating different works.
Before the secret garden, he used his old denim to create a series of “paintings†such as portraits and arranged a self-service laundry room.
When these works are photographed and displayed on electronic screens or papers, it is always questioned that all details are supported by denim. In order to dispel people's doubts, when Ian Berry introduces his work, he always adds the following line: “All you see in my work is tannin, nothing else, no paint, no bleach or dyeing".
However, when people have the opportunity to watch his works within a touchable distance, the missing sense of three-dimensionality and layering in the two-dimensional plane will be regained. This common fabric, which is distinctive and durable, has faded into different shades of blue after being polished many times and is used properly. It can even exhibit a metallic ice-cooling feeling. When the rooms and characters were wrapped in a blue atmosphere, everything was tinged with a touch of grief. Ian Berry used this to describe the city's loneliness and its fading.
However, Ian Berry did not want to reproduce this melancholy temperament in this small garden of the Children's Art Museum. What he wants to do is to arouse people's curiosity and interest in nature.
He found that people always disrespect when it comes to reproducing a familiar scene, but after using denim as a common and special material to build space, people will look at it all in different perspectives and re-cherish them. He hopes that parents and children can walk through the garden together and stop to observe each rose carefully. When they cross the familiar gardens and parks in the daytime, they may use the same attitude. Go to observe nature.
Children can also learn a little knowledge from this small garden that denim is made of cotton. Ian Berry put a bunch of cotton in a round window to help the children establish a connection between cotton and denim. The entire garden made of denim is also a response to denim "plant" attributes.
This garden does evoke the curiosity of some children. One user commented on Ian Berry's Instagram that the children were enthralled by this beautiful blue garden. They kept asking if they could plant a garden like this in the bedroom.
This garden will remain until April this year. Ian Berry will return to the Children's Art Museum in April to create courses related to this work.
