"Mushroom Patch” was welded from 1/2" steel rods by artist Butch Kanter over a two-month period. It is built on a heavily modified body of a functional Geo Metro car and covered by white Lycra and faux fur. The installation also has DMX-controlled custom LED strips.
A collaboration with the Lighting Science Group and CD + M Lighting and Design Group, their exhibition “Garden Lights, Holiday Nights”. LSG, a leader in LED manufacturing, has scattered the garden with various glowing shapes. An LED topiary of space age tree shapes and small shrub orbs are arranged in a promenade on the Great Lawn of the botanical garden. The Atlanta Botanical Garden’s choice to outfit their grounds with an energy efficient display this year is a powerful message to their public that integrating low energy usage and recyclable materials are just as important as paying homage to the importance of nature and organic beauty.
