each of the sculptural works of the ‘houseplant’ series by new york-born and connecticut-based artist james grashow show a carved cityscape built upon the stems and leaves of plant-filled vase. the man-made structures are incorporated into the bouquets in such a way that appreciates the shape of both the bloom and building. the miniature cityscape either rises from the center of a flower or rests upon the leaves of a hand-sculpted greenery. grashow has created bouquets for atlanta, new york city, telluride, brooklyn, manhattan, and nyu. the collection is both a celebration of the architectural motifs unique to the featured city while also serving as a reminder of the balance between man and nature.
