Terra Incognita

Location: Tetbury, England Client: Westonbirt International Festival of Gardens

Nature, by its very essence, is at once predictable and mysterious. Traditional gardens tend to employ nature’s predictable side, grooming and perfecting its seasonal colors and textures. Terra Incognita seeks to embrace mystery and the excitement of the unknown. A slot through a broad meadow will create a void which will begin to fill. Time and chance will be the predominant designers as the slot and the surrounding meadow slowly change during the festival. The line will also call attention to the meadow, embracing it’s expanse and revealing it’s delicate beauty.
