NATURE GIRLS Laura Ford, 1998

Peeking out from the shrubs at the British High Commission are Stump Girl, Conifer Girl and Bush Girl — Welsh sculptor Laura Ford’s Nature Girls. Are they hiding? Are they lost? Are they watching you? Do they mean you harm? Ford intended for viewers to be unsettled by her creations, which seems lighthearted at first, but also contains a hint of menace. The small bronze trees with little girls’ legs are, at the same time, comical and unnerving.
