It was this ambition that created the glass-houses and the great botanical gardens of our major cities and it is curiosity about this human drive to gain an understanding of the unknown and mysteries of nature that inspired Alice Myers to make her series "Winterless Skies". Intrigued by the tensions created by such attempts to impose human order over nature, Alice chose to photograph these Victorian glass houses which so perfectly epitomized the meeting of man-made structure and chaotic nature about which we have such incomplete knowledge.

There is no green agenda in Alice's work, no desire to comment on the current debate of man versus nature within environmentalism. Rather she is inspired by the unexpected qualities of nature and seeks to produce a visual understanding of the tension created between order and chaos.

Alice has found a beauty at this point of meeting. It is an unlikely place of steamy windows covered in salt deposits, dripping in condensation, with giant leaves pressing against the glass to find such a fascinating and extremely rich textural surface. The images are both evocative of the stifling heat of the Amazonian jungle and the complexity of natural form. They elegantly portray the unruly nature of life and it's ability to confound our notion of order.
