Utah-based artist Greg Ragland was commissioned for the project and responded to the spirit in which the garden was created by adding color, scale, shape, and levity with his sculptures.

GALLERY WORK

Ragland calls the eye-dazzling results “fractals,” and he shares with a generation of painters, including Gerhard Richter, another protean artist whose creativity overflows the boundaries of genre or style, the discovery that capturing a body of paint between a flat blade and a smooth surface can produce a seemingly infinite variety of marks — more evocative than representational, not abstracted from nature but bursting forth with nature’s raw creative power.
