Garden (Paphos), Naxos marble tiles, soil, wheat, 60 x 45 x 3 cm, 2017.



Continuing the tradition of gardens commemorating failure, Garden (Paphos) utilises the same Naxos marble used in the renovation of Kennedy Square in central Paphos (close to Adonidos Street), as part of the city-wide reinvigoration for Paphos 2017 European Capital of Culture. The renovations were fraught with delays, with the main square finishing well past the inauguration, and many blamed corruption, bad handling of finances and Cypriot laziness.
