Spiros Panigirakis re-envisages situations of cultural and personal significance in the form of diagrams, mappings, manuals, texts and patterns. Garden states reflects on the relationships and rituals developed within the suburban gardens inhabited by Panigirakis’s parents and their peers. The work features a cast-concrete poster rack that references, in form and material, a design used to support the growing of tomatoes and ornamentals. A functional sculpture, it contains diagrammatic drawings depicting networks of people and social systems, reflecting Panigirakis’s interest in the underlying structures of places and groups.
