The Garden: Lae Oldmeadow

In his first solo exhibition at NERAM, outsider artist Lae Oldmeadow presents The Garden, a contemplative and tactile installation where nature and culture intertwine. Comprising  series of Totems of Contemplation leading to the central sculptural work The Garden, the exhibition evokes the sensation of entering a magical forest. Crafted from palm fibre, sisal, organic cotton and ultramarine paint, Oldmeadow’s totems and wall sculptures explore reverence, resilience and renewal.
