There's nothing particularly queer about Henry Moore or his sculptures but he is an iconic sculptor and the [exhibition that's on at Kew Gardens](https://www.kew.org/kew-gardens/whats-on/henry-moore?ref=gtv.blue) is a unique opportunity to admire in his work in an expansive setting that matches the scale of Moore's ambition.

Surreal, humanesque shapes languidly inhabit the vast green spaces of Kew. There's an organic quality to Moore's work that lends itself to being immersed in nature.

Thirty of Moore's sculptures are showcased across the gardens. The sculptures are purposefully placed to be in dialogue with Kew's trees and landscapes - the intention is to illustrate how sculpture can both respond to, and reshape, the space it inhabits.

I took my camera along to try and capture some of that dialogue.

I also tried to capture some of the other points of interest that I observed in the gardens.
