February 20 Plant Art or Parody?

Topiary is a wild edge of art and design. It's associated with land and time wealth in Europe. But it's open to a parody of itself too. For instance it was a design motif executed in Astroturf on the roof deck of the downtown LA Standard. Pearl Fryar is an American topiary artist in all seriousness. Our West Coast - grow most things climate, and our community of landscape architects is a perfect audience for a talk by this modern topiary artist. And maybe PNCA, the sponsor of this talk, will have a topiary thesis in the future! At the PNCA www.pnca.edu The Bison Building, the MFA in Applied Craft and Design Studios 421 NE 10th 6:30 Free
