In Gabriel Heimler and Anna Proc's 2020 exhibition The Hedge, they use the carefully tended and trimmed hedge as a metaphor for the standardisation and conformity in our lives, a standard education, a standard lifestyle. The hedge has it's own beauty and function, it protects, but protection is also a form of limitation.
In these paintings between the hedges flourish wildflowers free to grow. Metaphorical liberty, dreams, freedom from routines and our daily work. Dreams and desires that exist outside our own 'hedges'.
An extra relevance for the series has appeared with the advent of COVID. We had to isolate, protect others from ourselves, stay cordoned off, hedged in, unable to mix or travel we enjoyed life in our own bubble, behind our new unexpected hedges.
