the garden

From the garden class with Lucas & Diego, I left with a mixture of emotions. Personally, i do not see the garden as art - but rather an artform. A few months before this class, i started working with the concept of hanging plants unsidedown - altering natural growth and human perceptions (which, to me was art - but somehow the garden I have at home as purely a garden) It comes down to intention I suppose, and an arguement that can never be won. I still think this way. The only real thing i gained from this class was a depper desire to garden (or more so to give our 300 odd tadpoles a new home in a new garden)
I read a quote (from Gobblieb i think?) that stated that he was sick of people stating that they wanted to go back to nature, and to him, that people seemed more concerened with going back, than about nature - I think this quote sums up the majority of nature based works, and is something we need to think about on a whole.

Aside from this I am mostly worried that this will fall through, that ceramics courtyard seems destined to continue as a graveyard. I only hope that people will continue to care for it, and as well as the animals that will begin to live off it's growth.
