midsummer night's dream
Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a mischievous tale of humans and fairies interacting deep in the Athenian forest. When I decided on this theme for a public garden, I wanted to leave the impression that fairies and humans had left their imprint .
The design includes a ring of green Palo Verde trees which bloom bright yellow in spring. The Palo Verde encircle a small stone seating area. The site's central feature is cast bronze shoes, both humans and fairies. Each fairy shoe was stitched and hand-sculpted using desert plant material -adding a whimsical surprise.
