Lyndall Phelps’ Gently Enticing is a re-working of Drift, 2005, a site specific installation for the rotunda of the Great Eastern Hotel, London, commissioned by Commissions East. Lyndall Phelps worked with Cole & Son to produce white flocked wallpaper in 12 background colours. The floral design of the wallpaper echoes the common plants favoured by Jekyll and the graduation of colour replicated the drifts of colour used in her planting schemes. The title is a quote from Jekyll's Colour Schemes for the Flower Garden first published 1908. Isolated from its original text, the quotation becomes sexually suggestive, hinting at out of sight activities. The selection of this artwork introduces the feminine, the decorative and the nature already present in Barrington’s Jekyll inspired gardens into the masculinity of the paneled interior.

Scion is a sixteen-month contemporary art programme at Barrington Court curated by Beacon Art Project in partnership with the National Trust. Lyndall Phelps has been commissioned by Beacon to be the Scion artist in residence at Barrington, to create a new artwork from working with the staff and volunteers at Barrington Court.
