Description
Garden Growth is centered around the idea of ‘growth’ and is a Mini Moo — kid sized — Cow. By incorporating the flora and garden motif, this design provides a visual representation of what it is like when we challenge ourselves, and the beauty that is generated from it. The playfulness and joy of this piece invites viewers to explore and interact with the work as an exciting art piece, but also as a conversation starter. Garden Growth is a painted fiberglass hollow statue with a removable wood base.
About the Artist: "thecollab" is the coming-together of artist educators and longtime friends, Jaimie and Kate. In their work, they consider themselves creative problem solvers – using color, shape and texture as abstract storytelling tools on a variety of surfaces. They are focused on crafting unique, engaging spaces and experiences that invoke energy, joy, and community. Jaimie and Kate believe that art and design are essential to the human experience and that public art has the power to connect communities, empower individuals, bring joy to its viewers, and elevate brands.
