Kevin Hunt – an artist, curator and director of The Royal Standard, an artist led gallery in Liverpool – has mastered the art of making captivating sculptures from found, surplus objects. The garden furniture – chairs, dressers and doors – is one such example of his creative genius. He drapes various static pieces of furniture in living, growing grass to create his sculptures. As time passes by, the greenery, rooted to the furniture through a dirt compound, fades away.

Artist’s statement:
The Garden Furniture project came about through an interest in making sculpture that uses both permanent and ephemeral materials, altering a static piece of furniture by covering it in living, growing grass, the work therefore changed over time, altering itself, a process that became beyond my control.
