Weathered blades and a dark backdrop reveal the quiet character of an everyday garden tool.
In Pruning Shears, Nina Julyan brings a familiar object into close focus. Open blades form a strong V-shaped composition, with traces of rust and wear standing out against the dark background.
Part of Nina’s Garden Series, this photograph explores how familiar garden tools become unfamiliar when isolated from their everyday surroundings. The pruning shears invite speculation about their form and purpose, shifting attention beyond their practical use. Echoing the presentation practices of museums and archives, the series reframes overlooked objects as significant and worthy of contemplation.
Presented in a black frame, this work would sit beautifully in a kitchen, study or garden-facing room, offering a fresh way to appreciate something often overlooked.
