Weathered metal and slender lines reveal the sculptural character of a familiar garden tool.
In Three-pronged Weeding Fork, Nina Julyan draws attention to the fork’s worn metal surface. A close crop isolates its upright prongs against a dark background, with light catching their edges and highlighting the mottled brown and silver tones.
Part of Nina’s Garden Series, this photograph explores how familiar garden tools become unfamiliar through close focus and isolation. Removed from its everyday setting, the weeding fork invites speculation about its shape, surface and purpose. 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 bring quiet character to a kitchen, study or garden-facing room, either alone or alongside other works from the series.
