i’m jealous of zadok ben david

Wait… what are we looking at here? Yes, it’s a metal garden, by London based artist Zadok Ben David, made up of 12,000 cut steel flowers & plants. The vintage, text-book looking botanical specimens are black, hence the title Blackfield, but hold on a second… if you walk around to the other side of this lovely ‘field’… YES, the opposite side of this breath-taking installation is painted in stunning color! Gorgeous.

    It took me a while to decide if I was looking to a photo, an ink drawing, an I-don’t-know-what.

    So beautiful! I’m in love.

    Beyond this World!!! I will be there for hours staring at each flower and going back and forth to feel the whole. Installations like these expand my mind and inflate my heart. : )
