Living Sculpture by Paul Cooper

In recent years a dynamic new generation of artists and gardeners have completely redefined garden sculpture, making plants the focus rather than the backdrop of astonishingly diverse living sculptures. This book draws together some of the best examples from around the world, arranging these eclectic works according to how they were made. With superb colour photography of the sculptures in their natural settings, Living Sculpture overturns preconceptions about what is possible in the context of both gardening and art.
A successful sculpture before becoming a garden design, Paul Cooper is of today's most controversial designers for his use of unconventional materials and theatrical effects, Paul has won RHS gold, silver and bronze medals at the Chelsea Flower Show. Commissions for Paul's work include those for the BBC TV series Gardens by Design and the BBC Gardener's World Live show. In 2001 they are featured in the BBC TV series Small Town Gardens. His first book, The New Tech Garden (Mitchell Beazley), was also published in 2001.
