Gardens Outside of the Frame and Page — Inspirations for and Elements of Dynamic Landscapes Beyond the Picturesque
An exploration of the nature of dynamic landscapes and their essential elements, a discussion of the regional ecologies that inform them, and an argument for the real art of landscapes — beneficial outcomes that exceed the constraints of traditional aesthetic notions.
