HortiSculpture is an interdisciplinary project that combines art and gardening to expand personal and public awareness of art, community action, and environmental issues. We reproduce human feet in clay through a process called press-molding; once made, the feet are “planted” with flowers and vegetables, thereby transforming unused land into a large scale art installation and – eventually – a sustainable garden.
HortiSculpture is doing an installation at Pinewoods Estates on April 19th from 4-6pm; we are working in conjunction with Athens Land Trust to plant a children’s garden for the kids living at Pinewoods Estates. Kids aged 8-12 years will paint unfired clay feet with an earth-friendly liquid clay, then we will plant our feet together! We are looking for volunteers to help out – any and all are welcome.
HortiSculpture is supported in part by an ICE Project Grant.
