Collaboration with Artist and Poet, Parker Phillips
This is a landscape that acknowledges the way central events and meanings change over time, even merge with their surroundings. Using yellow, a color that embodies festiveness, the color of ebullience, we attempted to create a sense of de-centrality, that is consecutive, occurring in time and in dialogue with a big artificial bouquet, whose stasis, stature, and color would be highlighted according to the seasons, and the different ways it is approached by visitors to the garden - through forest and/or meadow. In fall, the bouquet would seem to dissolve throughout the yellow leaves of the birch trees. In summer, the meadow transforms into a sea of purple salvia, Russian sage, goldenrod, and wild grasses.
