Suburbia



As I have been examining landscapes and nature throughout the quarter I have noticed that nature rarely produces straight lines and manmade nature always incorporates straight lines.  The goal of this project was to show the manicured versus the wild.  We create natural environments by mowing the lawn, adding pavements to walk on, and introducing none native flowers.  All of the efforts are quite the opposite than what nature actually is.  We have become a weed to nature destroying the environment in order to put up what we perceive as a natural environment. 
I placed the dandelions on the edge of suburbia where the lawn service only mows about 2 feet from the side walk then the landscape turns into a forest of woods and weeds, a far-cry from the manicured suburbia landscape.
