Afterword by Jennifer Higgie

Trolley are delighted to present our third publication with Siân Davey The Garden following Looking for Alice (2015) and Martha (2018).

“Why don’t we fill our back garden with wildflowers and bees, and the people we meet over the garden wall – we’ll invite them in to be photographed by you.” This is what my son Luke announced in the kitchen, midwinter, our back garden abandoned for at least ten years. I was sitting at the kitchen table, navigating a family deep in crisis.

What came next was a pilgrimage: an on-going act to cultivate a space grounded in love, a reverential offering to humanity. This is what became The Garden. 

In a short window of time, we worked intensively to clear our long-neglected garden. During the process, we intensively researched native flowers, soil and biodiversity. We sourced organic local seeds and sowed under the moon cycles, bio-dynamically.

We offered prayers along the way. We invited the pollinators and nature spirits. Luke and I obsessively shared our dreams, our insights and visions. We called in our ancestors to support and strengthen our vision. We collected stories from the people we met over the garden wall whilst we worked, which soon came to feel like an intimate, confessional space. 

We then watched the flowers emerge, silently appearing from every corner of the garden. Mullein, meadowsweet, wild carrot, giant sunflowers and thousands of poppies and cornflowers. We built structures for climbing gourds, tromboncinos, and sweet peas to clamber over. 

And as the flowers opened, they called in the community; the mothers and daughters, grandparents, the lonely, the marginalised, teenagers, new lovers, the heartbroken and those that had concealed a lifetime of shame. They became enfolded into the story of the garden, creating and partaking in the story equally. 

As the garden evolved it became an expression of joy, interconnectedness, yearning, sexuality, and defiance. The garden became a metaphor for the human heart itself.  

Those who entered the garden reflected back to me my history and who I had become.

Everyone has a place in our garden. I am the garden. Those who enter are the garden. Without distinction, without separation. 

Siân Davey is a photographer with a background in fine art and social policy, who worked for fifteen years as a psychotherapist. In 2007, following a visit to the Louise Bourgeois retrospective at Tate Modern, London, she was inspired to translate her personal history into creative practice. In 2011, she moved into photography, drawing on her experiences as a psychotherapist and mother to inform her practice, her family and community being central to her work. In 2014, Davey completed an MA in Photography at the University of Plymouth, followed by an MFA in 2016.

Her awards include the Arnold Newman Award for New Directions in Photographic Portraiture, New York (2016), the Prix Virginia, Paris (2016) and the Royal Photographic Society Hood Medal (2017). Her work was selected in three consecutive years (2015 – 2017) for the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, London. She has been a recipient of a W. Eugene Smith Fellowship (2019), commissioned by the Wellcome Photography Prize (2019) and been a nominee for the Prix Elysée (2023).

Her work has been exhibited internationally in both solo and group shows, including at Aperture, New York (2018); Deichtorhallen, Hamburg (2021); Richard Saltoun Gallery, London (2021); and Images Vevey, Switzerland (2022). She is represented by Michael Hoppen Gallery, London.

Davey’s work is held by collections including the Science Museum, London; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Centre national des arts plastiques, Paris; and the Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol. 

In 2023 she was a Finalist in the Prix Pictet for The Garden, and the work exhibited around the world as part of their touring exhibition at: Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Red Cross Museum, Geneva; Luma Westbaus, Zurich; Fotografiska, Stockholm; Arter, Istanbul; Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego; Ratskeller, Luxembourg; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich and Photography Museum Ireland, Dublin.

The Garden is Siân’s third book with Trolley Books following Looking For Alice (2015) and Martha (2018). Looking For Alice was shortlisted for the Paris Photo/Aperture Foundation First PhotoBook Awards (2016) and for the Kraszna-Krausz Foundation Book Awards (2017).

She lives and works in Totnes, Devon.

My go-to sublimation paper for crafting
Size: 8.5"x11"
I've used several sublimation papers, and this one has worked really well for my crafting projects. The colors transfer bright and vibrant, and the images come out crisp with good detail when using the proper sublimation printer and ink. The paper feeds smoothly through my printer and feels like a good quality weight—not too thin and not overly thick. I've used it for tumblers, keychains, and other sublimation projects, and I've been happy with the results. I also appreciate getting 110 sheets in one pack because it lasts a while, especially when working on multiple projects at once. Overall, this is a reliable sublimation paper that gives consistent results and is great for crafters or small business owners.

Easy set up and nice appearance.
Good instructions for easy set up were provided. Wireless connectivity set up was easy. Ink tanks were easy to fill and set up. Print quality has been good. The printer has a good appearance in our home office. We have had this printer for about a month, so reliability and life are still unknowns. I felt like the price was fair for the features included.

Best Printer I’ve Ever Owned — Fast, Economical, and High Quality
I can confidently say this is the best printer I’ve ever owned. The print quality is excellent—very close to a laser printer, easily about 90% as sharp in my experience. What really sets this printer apart, though, is the cost of ownership. The ink refills are surprisingly inexpensive, especially when compared to the high cost of toner cartridges. That alone makes a huge difference for me. Performance has also been impressive. It’s just as fast, if not faster, than the laser HP printers I’ve used in the past, and it handles jobs smoothly. One feature I didn’t expect to appreciate as much as I do is the automatic print tray. It opens and closes on its own, which keeps the printer looking clean and eliminates the need to manually manage trays. Overall, this printer combines strong print quality, speed, and very low operating costs. If you print regularly, it’s an easy recommendation.

Stay Away from this Printer!
I almost never leave negative product reviews, but this one requires the effort to warn others. I would give this item zero stars if that were an option. I have dealt with Epson technical service personnel repeatedly since I originally received this defective printer on February 17 of this year. As a result of those discussions, I received my SECOND replacement printer yesterday. Like the first two printers, this one also does not perform properly. It jams every single time the document feeder is used for scanning. The first page jams every time. None of the online recommended fixes resolves the issue. The first replacement printer could not be connected to my wireless network, so I never even got it set up to test it. The Epson technical service personnel concluded it had a defective network card. The original printer could be set up; but after every print job it completed, it locked up and displayed error code 302626, which I was told by the service personnel indicated a hardware issue of some sort. To say this has been a disappointing experience would be an understatement. I intend never to purchase another Epson product. Epson insisted my only remedy was to continue to receive replacement printers, all of which were refurbished machines. I devoted a total of more than 8 hours to this terrible product. The bright spot in this sorry is that because of my long and strong patronage of Amazon, I was able to receive a refund from and return the machine to Amazon. I will now try an HP model, which hopefully will be a much better experience.

Write down the serial number of the printer (On the underside of the printer).
This product was packed very, very well. I usually take pictures with my iPhone so that I know how to put products back together if I need to send them back but I was impressed with the way this printer was protected, really thoroughly! Step through the instructions very carefully. I wouldn't say that is the easiest setup but at least the instructions cover everything you need to know. Some of the features that are very useful - the size (fits on my small file cabinet with room to spare), has ethernet AND wireless and the printed pages tray pops out of the printer automatically when printing starts. Interesting observations - When loading the ink, do NOT pay attention to the logo onto top of the ink tank cover. It shows the inks from left to right - red, yellow, blue but it's actually (Black) blue, red yellow and there is label on the inside showing the correct sequence and the ink bottles will not fit if you try to put them in the wrong tank. It does save some degree of frustration if you don’t get misled by the logo. Some bright spark left out an important instruction in the user guide that you will run into when you are installing software. Bear in mind that you have carried the printer to its final location, hooked it up to power and connected cables and installed the ink and waited 11 minutes for the ink to finally finish its whirring and buzzing. You are installing software (maybe the Epson smart panel) and you are told to enter the serial number of the printer as the password. It then informs you that the serial number is on the bottom of the printer or underneath the side panel or on the back panel. I could not find the serial number in either the side or the back. As far as I could tell, the serial number is only on the underside of the printer so get ready to unplug your cables and don’t tip the printer now that you have loaded the ink! I lifted the printer up (not light) so that I could see the serial number and have my wife write it down. Why there was no instruction to write down the serial number after removing the printer from the box for whichever step it's needed BEFORE going through the entire setup and loaded up with ink seems ridiculous to me. It's certainly pretty annoying to find out you need the serial number from the underside of the printer after completing all the physical installation steps. The various panels are made of thin plastic and seem flimsy but I do like the way they fit together. When you run a test print you will be told to place the test print in the scanner so that it can be verified and you might get some errors if you don't place it exactly where it's supposed to be. I am used to positioning the paper with the small edge on the glass right where the lid is raised and the long edge against the edge of the glass near the front. That will get you an error message. There is an arrow (hard to spot) in the corner to tell you where it needs to be exactly, near the hinge of the cover. The instructions will have you go off in another direction if you don't realize that the problem is how you positioned the original on the glass. On the positive side, the printer worked right away using the ethernet connection to one of the switches in my home network. I have this printer installed on top of my small filing cabinet in the closet which is next to my desk. I had already installed an AC socket inside the closet for the printer so there was no extra work required. The Ethernet cable fits under the closet doors when they are closed. I moved the old Epson WorkForce 645 printer upstairs where I have three more Macs. These days it only works well for black ink only which cuts down on cartridge costs. That printer has been a workhorse for sure. It's a 3-in-one also. I expect it will keep on ticking for a while yet which is why I bought a new Epson. This printer has taken the longest to install of any of my previous printers but I have a photo journal to complete so I wanted to get a decent color printer. Lastly, I recommend that you buy good quality paper to get the best results (I ordered Epson Premium Presentation Paper MATTE (8.5x11inches, Double-Sided, 50 sheets - S041568), Bright White because of my use case).
