RGB: Green

Consider the force of new growth, imagine gardening futures and capture the changing light in three installations connecting the house and grounds. In RGB:Green, artist and writer Lizzie Philps shares a celebration of the return of the light, made in conjunction with our garden team. These playful works reflect on green; what it is and what it does, and how light is captured, used and appropriated by plants and humans.

Lizzie Philps is an artist and writer with a background in site-specific and environmental performance. Participatory works include Acts of Invisible Repair with AHRC/Exeter University (2021), a response to the tidal issues of Jersey with the Live Art Development Agency (2017), and an immersive performance about the extinction of birdlife at We The Curious, Bristol (2010). Lizzie has a PhD in Performance Practice, and her writings exploring the relationships between women and landscape have been published by Routledge and Demeter Press, as well as in several international journals. She will be creating a series of exhibitions, walks and writings at Hestercombe in 2025-26 as part of a DYCP grant from the Arts Council.
