Specialist note

‘The outcome of such a visit to a botanical garden is a group of painted aluminium rods; an algorithmically developed “code” that takes as its theme my walk and perceptions along the parameters of colour, proportion, performance, season of the year, norm and infinity—and creates a matrix for perception.’ —J.
