Matthew Aberline transforms the Pop-Up into an immersive world of inflatable sculpture, lanterns, textile works, appliqué, wearable forms and participatory making. Drawing on his celebrated floral and botanical visual language, The Secret Garden unashamedly explores beauty as a force for healing. This is a garden full of delights and surprises: a place where colour blooms, stories are shared, forms overflow their boundaries, and visitors are invited to play, contribute, remember and imagine.
