Allotment Stories

Collins seeks to express the voyage of continual experimentation, ingenuity and perhaps most of all pride, involved in the growing year of the organic vegetable grower.
The series has a humorous side, where Collins raises the status of what we see now, as the humble vegetable, elevated to a spot lit stage.
On the more serious side, climate change, the threat of genetically modified food, loss of habitats and bee numbers declining, the importance of the organic vegetable could be elevated above that of gold, as when all else fails, in the future, vegetables could be the most valuable and precious commodity.
This series was shortlisted for an Arts Foundation fellowship in the Still life category.
