Desert Wind

 

I went for another walk at the Desert Botanical Garden and got to see the finished art project I told you about last week.  This piece is called "Wind" and it's by artists Natasha Lisitsa and Daniel Schultz.  It is described as representing the tumultuous wind and dust storms experienced in the desert southwest.  It does look like what is left behind after one of those storms blows through.

It's constructed with plant materials like branches, skeletons of cactus, tumbleweeds and even some live bromeliad plants that you can see peeking out.

The sign says we should be able to walk through it but as you can see they have it staked off right now.  I wonder if that will change.

These artists are known for using live plants and natural materials in their creations. I like the look of this one.  I'll be looking forward to seeing the next two they have planned called "Water" and "Earth".
