Garden Play by Topher Delaney

Garden play is a landscape created by Topher Delaney for Cornerstone Sonoma, an installation created to pose questions the nature of a garden. The garden is enclosed by white fabric stands on the side and a bar code at the back made of recycled plastic lumber representing the garden play and inviting visitors to asking questions about the importance and values of gardens.

The only planting used for the garden are birch trees , pale white as the lateral fabrics and the paving, which is made out of crushed oyster shells . Open interpretation  is left for the spheres, which can be seating, a playful object or simply an ornament completing the landscape with a touch of light brown. 

This piece of landscape revokes a sense of familiarity and comfort, projecting closeness through the enclosed fabrics that act like four walls, it almost feels like being in a minimalistic room.
