I'm a huge fan of Edwin Hamiton's work. So much so that when we collaborated on a project together I told the clients to give him full and free artistic discretion. They never regretted it. I love the new pieces that he had exhibited at the Late Show Gardens. Such talent ! Michelle Hi Ryan,

Evil, pretty plants, I agree. Even with AutoCad and high-tech stonecutting saws, I think those stone pieces would be a lot of work and take a lot of skill.

It looks like they pulled out a few more stops for this event. The Hamilton stone pieces are pretty amazing. I'm especially attracted to the second one, the Jean Arp looking biomorphic shape. I wonder how hard fitting the pieces together really is in this age of gonzo tools and heavy machinery. It does look impressive, though. It's a pity about all the Mexican feather grass. At least two of the gardens used it in a big way. Pretty, evil little plants. I'm about to start replacing what's left of mine with something more appropriate, but dang that stuff sure self-sows itself everywhere... Ryan, thanks for the links.
