Culpeper Community Garden hoted Michaela Nettell. Culpeper is a beautiful public open space in the heart of Islington. Managed by and for local people, it is a unique project where people from all walks of life come together to appreciate and enhance their environment. The organic garden comprises a lawn, ponds, rose pergolas, ornamental beds, vegetable, plots, seating and a wildlife area. Culpeper has won many awards over the years, including 'best display in a public space in London', awarded by the London Gardens Society, 1999, 2000 and 2002.

Michaela Nettell is a multi-media artist whose work explores relationships between art, science and nature and ideas that emerge from interdisciplinary dialogue. During Islington Exhibits she was developing two major collaborative projects: the Wellcome Trust funded project Pattern Completion, in which Michaela worked closely with scientists to bridge gaps between scientific and artistic approaches to the investigation of human memory; and a time-based project in which she explored beekeeping and apiculture to develop work that explores structures and patterns of activity observed in a colony of honeybees.
