LAWN DRAWING

Lawn Drawing is done with a mower. You inscribe a pattern, or shape, into your lawn. As the grass grows over the summer, your creation is enriched. We started doing this a couple of summers ago. And on bike rides thru the countryside, we see that others most likely have been doing this for longer than we have.

When you employ Lawn Drawing, you achieve two things right off the bat. First, you have an interesting thing to look at rather than just a boring lawn. And second, you immediately reduce your carbon footprint: the less grass you cut, the less pollution you give off.

So we thought it would be fun to start to document these Lawn Drawings. These few, initial, examples are to be seen only as a starter. Please feel free to send to us other examples of Lawn Drawings, which we will add to what we hope will be a compendium of this expressive format.
