Jubilee Front Garden by Helena Godwin. Community Artist

Replacing the negative space with positive light;

Last year this garden was dark and scruffy, full of litter and weeds.

Whole and broken bottles have been used to symbolise how our society throws away so much that is perfectly good. Something everyday, old, or broken, can have some use or beauty. As a society we often treat people like this.

When the African slaves arrived in America they hung coloured bottle on trees outside their homes to trap evil spirits. They believed the spirits would be attracted to the coloured light and get trapped safely inside the bottles instead of your house. This has gradually developed into the American Folk Art tradition of Bottle Trees.

CD’s have been added to give a bit of modern sparkle for the Jubilee.

The garden is now full of light and colour, so positive it feels like its mopping up all the negative energy from the surrounding area.

Helena has spent a year on this garden so if you have enjoyed her work, please give a small contribution so she can fund more Artwork/events.

Although I have worked closely with the local council on health & safety issues, please be careful in and arround the garden.
