The
Friends, with 'The Old Studio', Ventnor, hosted Life
Cycle, a sculpture trail at Ventnor Botanic Garden by
the sculptor Frances Doherty. Jane Denman produced artwork
for the brochures.
|
 |
|
Particularly
interesting for visitors was to find that the sculptures
have been placed to take advantage of the garden setting.
|
|
| |
The
sculpture trail was largely based on photographs and drawings
made through the seasons at Ventnor Botanic Garden.
|
|
 |
|
The
exhibition lasted twelve weeks from the opening in June
2009.
