Garden Escargot?

17/06/2026

When I was a child, I tried to eat a garden snail because I thought it was an escargot. Thankfully, my mum stopped me before it was too late.

"Garden Escargot?" further explores the idea of social constructs society expects you to know through a children's tea party, inspired by the Mad Hatter's tea party in Alice in Wonderland.

Feel free to walk in and out of this installation freely, and to open/close the lids of the 4 teapots as you like.

This installation was for the 2026 RNCM Composition Artist of the Year Competition and was highly commended.
