The Gardener Digs
Laura McMorrow
19 October 2024 — 18 January 2025
‘The Gardener Digs: Laura McMorrow’s contemplative approach to nature and time’ by Aoife Donnellan is published on the occasion of the solo exhibition The Gardener Digs by Laura McMorrow at The Dock, 19 October 2024 — 18 January 2025. The exhibition was selected through an open call by Kati Kivinen, Head of Exhibitions at Helsinki Art Museum, and Mary Conlon, Director at The Dock.
Aoife Donnellan is a curator and writer based between London and Berlin. Her curatorial and research practice investigates access as a creative method. She is currently completing a PhD in accessibility and contemporary exhibition-making at University College London.
"Works find their form in a variety of objects, including Lake Louise (2023) on the underside of a candle stick holder, Anemone (2024) inside a photo frame, and Stairway in the Park (2022) on a fireplace cover. The artist sources her canvases in second-hand shops, sometimes returning them painted to be sold to another customer."
