Pauline Hall

My work is multi disciplinary in nature, from photographic processes to working with and painting on range of different materials and surfaces. The garden; the ‘wild’ garden at the end of my road in East London, (The Canal Club Community Garden), has provided a context to bring ideas together, partly motivated by the need to save the space from redevelopment but also illustrating a wider need to protect our precious wild and green environments. These paintings form part of a series of work painted on site in the garden making studies of the contents of flower pots and containers in the garden as Spring gradually breaks through and reveals itself. I love the idea that we don't have to have a lot of space to enjoy the nature, particularly in an urban context; living in a flat for example. So much can be revealed about the living world by just growing things in a simple container.
