EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of William Mitchell's Seven reliefs/mosaics, located in The Water Gardens of Harlow, Essex. The intricate detail and artistry are beautifully captured by photographer Steven Baker in this particular shot from the south east perspective of relief/mosaic No. 7. Dating back to 1963, these reliefs/mosaics stand as a testament to post-war sculpture and Mitchell's undeniable talent. Each piece tells its own unique story, with No. 7 being one of seven ordered from west to east within the installation. The composition is a true masterpiece that effortlessly combines various elements such as texture, color, and form. As light dances upon the surface of each mosaic tile or relief panel, it creates an enchanting play between shadow and illumination. Baker's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every minute detail meticulously crafted by Mitchell. From afar, we can observe how each individual element seamlessly integrates into a larger narrative while maintaining its own distinct identity. These reliefs/mosaics have become iconic landmarks within The Water Gardens for their ability to evoke emotions and spark curiosity among visitors. They serve as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and leave an indelible mark on our cultural landscape. Through this photo print, we are invited into Mitchell's world - a world where creativity flourishes amidst concrete surroundings - leaving us captivated by his artistic vision and longing for more glimpses into his extraordinary creations.
