HEDGE SCRIPT by ZACHARY BEER




Hedge Script, the new show by Zach Beer opens tomorrow evening 6 - 9p.m. at The Outside World, 44 Redchurch Street, London E2 7DP. Runs until Tuesday 8th March 12 - 6 p.m. or by appointment.

“Whoso breaketh a hedge, a serpent shall bite him”

A hedge can be the product of a structure set in motion a thousand or more years ago. A network of nature, a political barrier on fertile land, a corridor for wildlife, a folkloric path for witches; life teems, twists one against the other, the ages are marked by the addition of new species.

Zachary Beer treats these forms as a natural calligraphy demarking the land, creating paintings that explore these intricate patterns, complex structures and synecdoche.
