Ever feel as if somebody’s watching you? When you visit the Atlanta Botanical Garden now through October, you might get that prickly feeling as you pass near a new art installation on the Great Lawn — The Four Seasons by artist, screenwriter and filmmaker Philip Haas (more HERE or call 404.876.5859).
From a distance, the 15-foot-tall sculptures loom over the grounds like the heads and shoulders of giants rising from the Earth. Up close, each appears to be built with gargantuan flowers and vegetables representing one of the four seasons. Don’t break off a piece for a quick snack, though. These giants are made entirely of fiberglass.
The scene isn’t all ersatz vegetation. A temporary garden bursting with flowers surrounds the four sculptures. They’re lighted for night viewing during the Garden’s regular Thursday event, Cocktails in the Garden.
