‘Memory is a gardener’s real palette; memory as it summons up the past, memory as it shapes the present, memory as it dictates the future’ -Jamaica Kincaid. 

As spaces cultivated by human hands, gardens harbour the spirit of their creators. It is through this manner that they have historically existed as forms of land possession and acts of colonial violence. Yet, within gardens is also the potential for life to be documented as a microcosm of human experience. Angeion (vessel) derives from a consideration of how life passes through nature. Taking guidance from gardens visited in Mt. Wilson (Dharug Country) as well as photographs made of nature, this book exists as a meditation of the interconnectedness between humans and nature as living beings, questioning the beginning and ending of our existence.
