Everyone needs to check out this artist installation art. Especially his “living sculpture“.

Alastair is a facinating artist. The scale of some of this work is unbelievable. I think that his art must be experienced in person in order to get a true feel for its presence.

I think part of that is that you want to walk up to his pieces and touch them. His stuff scream tactile, come and caress me, be part of me . . . Fun work.

His works look much better in the natural enviroment. The placement would not be right in a museum.

I agree completely, beautiful outdoor installation and ephemeral art. Be great to spend some time with this guy.
