The tragedy of the commons

Stone roses invited artists to show drawings in the outdoor area behind the Brücke Museum in Berlin. The behind area is brambly and wooded, a little used part of the museum's garden. The bins are there, and it is hard to get through the weeds by walking.
For this work I made a drawing loosely based on the blue fence that separated my studio yard from a wildish area that was in the process of being redesigned as motorway. The drawings were installed between two tree trunks, so that the viewer looks through the drawn fence and the two dimensional drawn vegetation merges with the background of the wooded area.

The 1750 British Enclosures Act created legal property rights to land previous held in a common, which had previously been used collectively by the inhabitants of the areas around it. It was interesting for me to think about this in relation to this overgrown and hidden part of the Brücke museum, and the fence separating my studio yard from an overgrown prospective construction site.
