Home Climate Gardens: Victorian Terrace - Seasonal bedding garden
2004
Kerbel, Janice
'Home Climate Gardens' is a series of nine digital drawings which was a commission and collaborative project with Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, University East Anglia and the Norwich Gallery. In 2002, Janice Kerbel joined Tyndall's collaborative research effort as artist-in- residence. Out of this grew a commission to develop a new body of work – 'Home Climate Gardens' – making Tyndall's first artist-scientist collaboration.
Each garden is determined by the climatic, architectural and functional conditions of a range of indoor environments (i.e. 'Council Flat: Wall-mounted gardens', 'Gym: Respiration garden'). While 'Home Climate Gardens' take the form of detailed and perfectly plausible plans, each garden remains unrealised.l
