Mar Vista's Garden - 2013 Succulent Gardens Rejuvenation Project

During last year's end of the school year 5th grade group art project,

students created a performance art piece sculpture 

that has been recently installed into Mar Vista's Garden.

Here are some stills from the performance piece:

I built these succulent garden frames with wood and gardening mesh.

I sliced holes into the outside of the garden mesh, 

then students planted succulents into the mesh where they would re root into 

the soil pressed in between the mesh, then grow into large succulents 

that mimic how the students move on a grow into young adults.

Below are the photos I took last week of the succulent gardens 

in their new home.

I was forced to bring the gardens home this summer but they received minimal

amounts of sun.

Luckily our garden receives a great amount of sunlight and 

these succulents should be ready to burst in no time.

So next time you have a moment, make your way over to 

our garden and take a look at our new additions.

Haha, My kitten Gaia just accidentally typed that walking across the keyboard.

Found this table place card recently at the Meditteranean Restaurant Spitz in Los Feliz, Los Angeles

The image is a mural painted by the street art / graffiti artists 

Mac and Retna.

Retna is responsible for the text and background designs,

while the artist Mac is responsible for creating the portrait of the woman.

You can see this duo of artists creating murals around Los Angeles for the 

past 10 years and also around the world.

I hope you enjoyed checking out some of my recent travels, 

I hope they inspire you to create!
