Carly Dalton Imagination Fund Application — The Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden is Carly Dalton's 2024 Playbook Imagination Fund application, inspired by days spent in the garden and walks in the woods. The page pairs a close-up photograph of pink flowers with past work and a project proposal titled the more beautiful world.
Artist statement
Many days spent in the garden & hours upon hours wandering the woods have led me to find a much deeper appreciation for the incredible beauty of this earth. I feel forever inspired by the seemingly imaginative worlds I have stumbled upon, and the endless trails of little miracles. When I walk through the forest, I can't help but notice the intricate patterns in the veins on the leaves, the complexity of a spiderweb shining in the sunlight, and the brilliant rainbow of colours that soften my eyes. I think about the innate ability of Mother Earth, of Gaia, to continually create beauty, amidst the chaos that exists in this universe. I ask her to help me remember that I too, that we too, can continually create beauty amidst the chaos of our own minds. My commitment to connecting with the Earth in a more conscious way has allowed me to open doors I didn't know were there.
