Seven and A Half Acres

Seven and a Half Acres was a temporary outdoor installation at Darts Hill Garden Park in Surrey BC, Canada.


The Crook of a Tree is inspired by the tiny flower-petal nests made in the ground by a rare species of mason bee, Osmia avosetta, each created to swaddle a single larva with food and warmth.  So extravagantly beautiful.  Imagine a cocoon-like nest, tucked instead into the crook of a tree.


Ceramic Knees congregate in the midst of knees of the swamp cypress tree.
