— AMC artist edition
Each year the AMC ( Amsterdam Medisch Centrum) invites an artist to maken an art edition for their series The Human Form. This is always presented during the medical public lecture 'De Anatomische Les'. Among the other artists that have contributed in the past years are Jennifer Tee, Berend Strik, Danielle van Ark, Scarlett Hooft Graafland, Marlene Dumas and Gijs Frieling.
This year I was invited. The images I made for this edition are a preliminary study for the work 'Fowerfields' for which I have been commisioned by the AMC art foundation. It will be realised in the coming years 2020-2024. 'Flowerfields' will consist of images of medicinal plants which I will be growing in The Miracle Garden.
Together with Sabrina Kamstra , curator of the AMC art foundation, we won the Elisabeth van Thüringen prize to realize this work.

From June 23 - 30 September the exhibition ‘De tuinen van Elspeth Diederix’ will be seen in the Stedelijk Museum of Schiedam. Among other projects she will present a satellite garden of The Miracle Garden.
The Sweet Peas & Morning Glory Garden will be made up of temporary summer annuals. The garden will consist of large flower pots with trellises in the shape of an obelisk. The obelisks will have a sea of sweet peas climbing up them intertwined with Morning Glory of incredible colors and stripes. The underplanting will consist of Eschscholzia, Lobularia and Tropaeolum. It will be a scented forest that you wander through before you reach the entrance of the museum.
