I created a garden vignette inspired by the work of Roberto Burle Marx.
I recently read in The New York Times that there is a retrospective exhibition of Mr. Marx’s work showing at the Paço Imperial Museum in Rio de Janeiro.
Link to the NYTime article : http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/21/arts/design/21burl.html?_r=1&ref=arts
I’d love to see this exhibition and hope that it may find the funding to travel to the United States.

The wall piece that inspired me.
In a book that I have about Roberto Burle Marx, it say that he scavenged these cast off architectural pieces from a building that was being demolished in Rio.
He brought them to his home / studio and refashioned them into a sculptural water feature.

If you find yourself in NY this winter you should stop at The New York Botanical Garden. We're putting together a Brazilian themed orchid show designed by Raymond Jungles inspired by Roberto Burle Marx. Our show will feature an 18' tall RBM mosaic.
