This Sebastian Di Mauro expo may just sustain our yearning for the perfect lawn! Opening this August in Melbourne.

August 1st, 2008

ARTIST STATEMENT

Evergreen provides the ultimate solution, no watering, no mowing and no insect infestations. There is an element of humour in the work but also a strong environmental message. The suburban dream of a perfectly manicured pristine lawn is seductive and yet repellent at the same time. It is inappropriate in a dry Australian landscape. Australian gardeners use a great deal of water to nourish a hungry lawn. The work seeks to immortalise the appeal for green lawns by making them into sculpture.
