My film features a selection of the works on display during the 2013 Sculpture In The Garden exhibition which has been held annually since 2002 in the beautiful surroundings of the University Of Leicester Botanical Gardens and features a selection of contemporary sculptures by prominent international artists. This years theme was A Change Of Heart and looks at the artists relationship with their materials. The exhibition is free to visit (except during special event days) and runs from June 30th to 27th October 2013 and has been Curated by Almuth Tebbenhoff FRBS. photos follow

Down the Garden Path, One of many borders filled with a wide selection  of flowers at Leicester Botanical Gardens. A covered walkway gives this part of  Leicester's botanical gardens a almost Mediterranean feel . The traditional formal garden area is the ideal setting for  artist Brigitte Jurack`s Piece 'Distribution of wealth'. Eilis O'Connell`s Carapace & Kathrine Gili`s Serrata  are amongst the sculptures on display at this years event.
