New works: Besides the Garden

By Dylan Farnum

Augusta's new pieces explore the breeched greenhouse, the forced entry of the garden into the interior space. For Augusta, the interior space is understood to be the surrounding interior of our physical existence, the home, the office, the studio, the school, the restaurant. It is also the interior of our physiological existence, the heart, the lungs, the breasts, the kidneys, the womb, the brain.

Walking into her studio over these last six months conjures a dream memory of a humid summer adventure. Hacking through kudzu with a repurposed rebar machete, you find yourself in the unhinged doorway of a forgotten arboretum. The branches have sluiced through the cracks, winding around mullions, overpowering the shattered panes and gaps in the framing. Breaking and entering, filling the gaps, and encompassing the fractured room. They find the light, and redistribute their infinite branching. The garden has entered the building.
