Event Description
The animation is a creative response to Croome’s “Pages from Nature” theme, inspired by the Hortus Croomensis, a comprehensive guide to the estate’s abundant and exotic plant collection written by William Dean, who was Head Gardener at Croome back in 1824. Sarah worked with young participants from the local area to examine some of the flora found in William Dean’s publication that still thrive today. They gathered drawings and captured sounds that the artist transformed into characters that go on a wild adventure across Croome’s gardens.
Field recordings and observations from the participants have been produced into an accompanying soundtrack produced by artist Anna Palmer.
Entry to the exhibition (animation) is free, but normal admission charges apply for the venue. Booking is not required.
This project is generously supported by the Tony Brooks legacy and public funding from Arts Council England and The Elmley Foundation.
