Scott Eady: The Shit Gardener
You won't find shimmering, waxed apples or Coles-quality carrots at this exhibition.
Overview
It doesn’t take a genius to grow some plants, but it does take one to craft an entire art exhibition out of them. Scott Eady’s The Shit Gardener takes everything you thought you knew about the humble garden and reworks it into a collection of art that intrigues, confuses and creates a pleasant amount of awe.
You won’t find shimmering, waxed apples or Coles-quality carrots at this exhibition. Eady’s practices are more mischievous, intertwining a humour and irony that spawn endless interpretations. His collection of cast bronze garden vegetables, quail egg-crusted potatoes and other green creations at a glance might seem banal but quickly take on a duality of their own.
Having recently exhibited at the Gwanju Biennale, the Venice Biennale and the Auckland Art Fair Project, the Dunedin artist's work is now going on show at a href="http://smallworksgallery.com.au/">SmallWorks. All in all, Shit Gardener. Good Artist.
