A gardening photographer—or a photographing gardener—Lou-Lou operates at the intersection of art and gardening. To her, these worlds are closely connected: both the gardener and the photographer observe the landscape, working with reality while also playing with its distortion.
In her work, she glorifies the garden, giving plants, flowers, and vegetables the stage they deserve. The imagined garden becomes a place of longing, inspiring others to embrace greenery in their own lives.
The Gardener by Lou-Lou van Staaveren is on view from February 7 to March 2.
