The Slow Garden is a living philosophy, as much as it is an art practice.

In the same way we tend to a garden, our personal relationships must be nurtured. This mental attitude allows ideas to germinate, and fosters growth alongside others with different and complementary strengths. If properly cared for, the seedlings of ideas and potential sprout up and take root around us.

Joel Loblaw and Johanna Reynolds’ art practices both centre on capturing elements of land in both figurative and non-representational forms, always seeking the elusive balance of nature and fantasy.
