Trends: Landscape Skulls?

October 30, 2008

I work at the intersection of design, horticulture, culture, and systems—helping people and institutions think clearly, act deliberately, and create lasting impact.

It’s all over fashion…even my little people (ages 3 and 6) have clothing items with skulls, so it has to trickle over to the garden and I think it has.

Did it start with Damien Hirst, or is he just a trend follower too? Not sure, but I love this knock off pumpkin.

Skull Sculpture

An Indian artist named Subodh Gupta, has come up with a giant skull made completely out of kitchen utensils at the Frieze art fair in London.

This is currently at the Missouri Botanical Garden for a special exhibit of sculpture by Niki de Saint Phalle. How about that for your front garden on Halloween. I found this at Messenger Boy.

    Thanks for the link. The skull is pretty amazing. If you look carefully you can see the legs of people sitting behind the teeth. 🙂

    Wow – I do see them (the legs) now. is it interesting on the inside too?
