The Garden — Siân Davey. Published by Trolley Books.
Beginning in 2020, Siân Davey and her son Luke transformed an abandoned garden into a space filled with flowers, plants, and birdsong, inviting people - neighbors, mothers and daughters, lovers, the lonely and the heartbroken - to share their creation and make another, her photobook, The Garden. The resulting publication is a joy, combining fact and fantasy, togetherness and reflection, and sexuality, into an irresistible mixture of sensual colour photography.
