Greenhouse Greenhouse Bristol

A greenhouse is a contained quantity of air and light which extends the growing season and enables the thriving of plants otherwise alien to local climate. It creates a bubble of super-nature, where things otherwise impossible become possible. The smell, temperature, humidity and taste of things are significantly different than just outside the thin membrane. It enables us to create different kinds (or quantities) of food, but also to experience different climates and atmospheres. A greenhouse is by definition alien to its site, but creates a significant place in everyday life.

Vardzia Cave Monastery

Vardzia is a cave monastery site in southern Georgia, excavated from the slopes of the Erusheti Mountain on the left bank of the Mtkvari River, thirty kilometres from Aspindza. The main period of construction was the second half of the twelfth century. The caves stretch along the cliff for some five hundred metres and in up to nineteen tiers. The Church of the Dormition, dating to the 1180s during the golden age of Tamar and Rustaveli, has an important series of wall paintings. The site was largely abandoned after the Ottoman takeover in the sixteenth century. Now part of a state heritage reserve, the extended area of Vardzia-Khertvisi has been submitted for future inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List

Zed Nelson by The Family

Zed Nelson has photographed the same family, once a year on the same day, for 20 years. I take hundreds of photo’s of my extended family all year round, some just languish on my computer screen unseen by anyone, some get printed, some framed. What is really interesting about this project is not only the obvious time scale but his “ analytical approach“. The same plain background is used for each session and he chooses only 1 frame to represent that years image. My many photographs are a mishmash of family events, his create a family history unfolding . Perhaps less really is more.

Members of the public admire trees displaying their autumn colours at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Wisley on October 26, 2011 in Wisley, England. Many deciduous trees have now changed colour as they begin to shed their leaves for Autumn. An extended period of leaf colour change has come about this year due to a warm, dry Spring prompting an early growth spurt and a premature colour change. (Photo by Oli Scarff/Getty Images)

A reveller perches on a public hire bicycle outside a bar in Shoreditch, the weekend before new licensing rules come in to effect across Hackney on July 28, 2018 in London, England. Hackney Council has voted to introduce strict new licensing rules which will see “core” curfews in place for new venues as well as extending the “Special Policy Area”, within which licenses are granted only in exceptional circumstances.
