An Artist’s Grassy Knoll

An artist has covered a church in London in grass. From the inside. “The walls of the church – indeed, every vertical surface, including doors and the railings around the organ loft – are covered in grass. It is a pelt-like, sensual second skin, and the first thing you want to do is reach out and touch it. The blades are superfine and delicate, damp and slightly resistant to the touch. This is nothing like a groomed, respectable, well-kept British lawn, nor a disciplined, close-shaved grass court or golf course. It is something altogether wilder and stranger.”
