In the local country park yesterday, the supports around saplings resembled those wibbly-wobbly structures that top German artist Anselm Kiefer built in his massive open-air studio in Barjac in France a while back. I wonder if they’re still standing? So anyway I couldn’t resist putting this cod-Kiefer together using them. #anselmkiefer #contemporaryart #sculpture #countrypark #nationaltrust #saplings #spring #art #handlettering #adobedrawing #photoshop #ipad #kiefer #london #gardening #horticulture #barjac #artstudio
