FIELD OF DANDELIONS

Finally got a chance to experience Field with Dandelions at 16th & Chancellor in Downtown Philadelphia where and entire 4-story building has been wrapped in a meadow.  It’s the latest install from Brooklyn based artist Patrick Jacobs who makes superrealistic detailed miniature sculptures.   The diorama is viewed through a round glass peep hole built into the side of the structure.  Through it you view a lush green field full of dandelions lit from within with a warm glow.

The Public Art Installation is courtesy of The West Collection who continue to support and share the work of emerging artists in innovative ways.
