Girvan Arts Festival Exhibition

Ayr
The image is a diptych, combining two distinct visuals related to gardening. On the left, a close-up photograph shows a person's hands carefully planting a small seedling with vibrant green leaves into dark, rich soil. The person is using a small hand trowel to create a hole. The background is a blurred expanse of lush green foliage, suggesting a natural outdoor setting. The focus is sharply on the hands and the delicate seedling, emphasizing the act of nurturing new growth. The person's clothing suggests they are likely an adult. On the right is a graphic poster with a bright yellow background. The title "UNEARTHED" is prominently displayed in large, textured black letters with splatters and distressed edges, giving it an organic and slightly rugged feel. Below it, in a smaller, cleaner black font, reads "The Power of Gardening". To the right of "UNEARTHED", the letters "ED" are stacked vertically in a similar textured black font. In the bottom right corner, a small hand fork garden tool is shown stuck in dark soil, with a few small green sprouts emerging. The British Library logo in red and white is located in the upper right corner, and the Living Knowledge Network logo is in the upper left. The overall effect of the diptych is to connect the practical, hands-on act of gardening with a broader theme or event, likely related to the "UNEARTHED: The Power of Gardening" initiative by the British Library and the Living Knowledge Network.
