Under construction since december '06 the aardvark aartpark is the brain child of landry deese and kim hamblin. The park, located in sheridan, OR, will be a 9 acre landscape showcase consisting of ponds, theme gardens, an old basalt/sandstone quarry, native plants, common plants, and hard to find plants. Within the park will be permanent large scale sculptures made from metal, ceramic, stone and concrete.
At the moment the gallery and studios are under construction; in fact everything is under construction. By early december '07 the anagama style woodfired kiln will be up and firing, 6 cords of wood are on site and pots are being made. The plant nursery is off and running with upwards of 600 plants potted and desperatly seeking some safety for the winter, ( under construction.)
The first large scale installation has just been confirmed and will be donated by montana artist cassiel leroux starting in november this year.
well, out to the park to work.
