I am thrilled to have acquired two wonderful sculptures from Al Roche. I was just browsing google images of abstract sculptures when a pic caught my eye it was from this great blog http://www.gardentyrant.com/2010/09/in-brimfield-mass-you-will-find.html entry.
Long story short I stalked this guy down. Blog showed sculptures at Brimfield, called the field at Brimfield, no info but he is from Texas, much stalking and found him devoid of website, flickr or facebook!
I love his work it is simple and the proportions and angles are so right.. I had no idea it would be so hard to find simple large garden art. After finding it would be cost prohibitive to have his sculptures delivered from Texas to LA, crazy nice Al offered to deliver them for me for a very reasonable amount and a meal. I also got to meet his lovely wife who is a vintage textile expert. I think some of his pieces will soon be at the Philadelphia Garden Show, and of course right here on our humble little street.
I also have this one and the last one is a piece I had to pass on. What a gem.
I would also have been very happy with this playground below (from someone else's blog post- way back- sorry lost info)
