About this artwork
"…and yet they tell the poor people that they must be content with their poverty and they shall have their heaven hereafter, why may we not have our heaven here?” asked 17th century philosopher and political activist Gerrard Winstanley.
In this work Lawrence explores the secret and often seedy worlds concealed behind park bushes or under suburban bridges. Places which attract people who wish to go about their interests unseen.
This work partly… made from a piece of needlework depicting a nature scene (found in a thrift store) has had parts of the original image removed and replaced with something resembling shimmering oil. Around the border of the image are small flags showing details of items one might find whilst exploring secluded private spots. These items include beer cans, and condom wrappers allude to what people use these parts of the landscape for and highlight often overlooked base aspects of the human condition.

« My work represents things in-between other things. I look at in-between landscapes, my process is in-between sculpture and drawing and the end results are between utilitarian products and "useless" art. »
Lawrence Bailey is a draftsman, textile artist, and sculptor based in the Netherlands whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Latvia, the United Kingdom, and Spain. His art often explores elements of the landscape, as well as how people use or relate to it. In particular, Baile investigates "the Edge Lands", which signifies an environment that forms a border between the urban and the rural. For him, these spaces signify transition and change.
