Grass Sculpture

Grass Sculpture by Elfleda.
In the Garden of Dreams.

The sculpture was made by brother and sister team Sue and Pete Hill. There best known works are the series of earth and plant sculptures they made for the Lost Garden of Heligan and for the Eden Project.

This sculpture was created as a sister to the Mud Maid which can be found at the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall.

I was at Eden in Feb 08 and saw the beginning of another sculpture that will I am sure look as great as this one.

A close up of the head can be seen at www.flickr.com/photos/carolinespics/153137487/

@ Ginnia64 it is a quote from Yeates (so someone standing beside me said) I think I have a good photo of it. I need to sort through the pictures I took so that I can post some more here.

one trick pony, sorry seen before , the whole point of art is to brake new boundaries, producing the same old work is not up to much is it, yes the execution is as good as ever the subject matter has not changed in 10 years, yawhn sorry S&P but you need to up your game SLuRP, breaking new ground!

Sorry guys but scuzzing around the Eden Project in yer logo'd bump caps and hi viz don't count as breaking new ground. Come back and we'll have a discussion when your corporate laser cut recyclo'yawn'rubbish has touched peoples hearts the way even just one of our images has. In fact come back when one person posts anything on your site resembling the numerous comments above. We've produced so much more besides this, across disciplines, in many countries and with thousands and thousands of people. A little word of advice, don't piss off the people in your own town who might be helping you, employing you or even wiring up your latest chandelier on the end of a rope!

Have a look at www.peteandsuehill.co.uk for some of this pony's other tricks!
Pretty much corporation logo free.

Some other things
- art should 'break' new ground, not put the brakes on it.
- have the courage to say it to my face rather than skulking around at the bottom of of a message board in Flickr.
- since when did a commercial design outfit start calling themselves artists?

See you on Tuesday! xxp
