Get inside my head #2

Indirect Sunlight was an immersive sculptural garden installation by Glasgow based artists Laura Aldridge and James Rigler. From 12 July – 23 September, Indirect Sunlight transformed NOW Gallery into a rural retreat, a space for contemplation away from the hustle and bustle of the capital. The summer exhibition drew nature inside, inviting visitors to come in and discover an unexpected garden.

Workshops took place daily to show how to make a newspaper flower pot, get some earth and plant a seed, encouraging all to make their own urban gardens. A collection of seeds were available, salad leaves, nasturtiums, runner beans and cucumber which also grew in the artists’ planters become part of the installation. This exhibition was a rural retreat, a place for contemplation away from the hustle and bustle of the capital. This summer exhibition drew nature inside and became a sensory growing experiment.
