Kate Mellor worked with Chris Broughton
at Enville Hall in Staffordshire where they were artists-in
residence in 2002 as part of the Staffordshire Public Arts project
- Hidden Gardens. Chris is a well-known illustrator who contributes
regularly to The New Arcadians publication of historic garden
design research.
Explorations around William Shenstone's historic garden and
researches in the Enville Hall archives resulted in work which
contemplated interventions in the landscape and compared differing
strategies of seeing landscape. Sightlines and panoramas, bird's
eye perspectives, viewpoints and vantage points, dazzling light
and "umbrageous gloom" all contribute to their images
of the past, the current and the imagined.
