DESCRIPTION
Catalogue of the The Wicked Garden exhibition, inaugurated on May 23, 2025, at the Estufa Freda of the Botanic Garden of the University of Valencia. The exhibition showcases Susan Mowbray’s drawings—an intimate journey through line, memory, and contemplation—where black ink on paper captures mental states and emotions rather than strictly botanical representations.
The title of the collection evokes an enigmatic, enchanted garden inspired by memories of old English estates and poisonous gardens. Each series of large-format drawings reflects key life moments and specific emotional states, creating a fragmented emotional space where ink flows like a silent thought and forms suggest more than they define.
This catalogue brings together images from the series, along with texts that contextualize the artistic proposal and the dialogue between art and nature. The Wicked Garden invites the viewer to immerse themselves in an inner landscape where contemplation and the sensitivity of line take center stage.
