Front Yard is the third book in David Wadelton’s tender investigations into Australian suburbia. As with Wadelton’s two previous books Suburban Baroque (2019) and Small Business (2 021), Front Yard is once again beautifully designed by Yanni Florence. The focus this time is on front gardens and yards from Melbourne and some parts of regional Victoria: from highly individual and often highly eccentric elaborate presentations displaying the hard work and particular aesthetic tastes of their creators to the sometimes somewhat melancholy front gardens and yards where remnants of former owners’ efforts have fallen into neglect or disrepair. All captured with David’s affectionate and acute eye and point of view. Show more
