The Layered Woodlouse Mounds
[Wildlife habitat sculpture]
Stoneware with glaze
June 2023
Amy Haigh
This new commission by Amy Haigh is a sculptural habitat (in stoneware with glaze), to be situated outdoors in a publicly accessible greenspace. The Layered Woodlouse Mounds (2023) act as a monument to its namesake species. Although the inhabitants are not seen by human observers for the most part, they live and search for food within the Mounds’ hidden sanctuaries, revealing themselves in fleeting moments as they leave and enter. … for more of my work see www.amyhaigh.com
The Mounds were shown at the Royal Horticultural Society Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in 2023.

Some ferns decided to take up residence on the raccoon in the Memorial Garden this winter, giving him a beautiful winter coat.

Here comes the choo-choo train.
On my recent visit to the botanical garden in Queen's Park, New Westminster (a suburb of Vancouver), I checked out the many works of local artist, Ron Rebko. I reckon, this wooden choo-choo train is a little garden art masterpiece.
