John Pfahl: Extreme Horticulture

Exhibition

Extreme Horiticulture includes photographs taken over the last three years in private and public gardens around the US. Continuing the artist's interest in nature and man's effects on nature, the exhibition illustrates nature at its most rigorously controlled: in landscaped and manicured gardens throughout the United States. Subjects range from the sublimely beautifulBirch Allee at Stan Hywet Gardens in Akron, Ohio, to the ridiculous Fifty-foot Inchworm, an azalea topiary at Cypress Gardens, Florida.
