A richly colored garland of fresh ivy climbs a wall that has enclosed a Beaufort mansion for more than a hundred and fifty years. Soft dappled light plays upon the scarred and cracked masonry. The focal point of the image is the symbolic blemish resembling an oval “eye” near the top of the frame on the right. If we can see it as an eye, the wall seems to be as alive as the ivy that grows up the left hand side of the frame.
