David Nash, sculptor and environmental artist's, response to the 300 year old yews in the gardens of Powis Castle on the Welsh borders. Unshaped and trimmed only annually, the yews have grown into fantastic, mountainous shapes which captuivated Nash's imagination. This book catalogues the response of David Nash in sculptures, reliefs and drawings to the 300 year old yews in the gardens of Powis Castle. After decades without cutting some 20 yews have grown into fantastic organic shapes not usually associated with the usual formal training of garden yews. Their striking plasticity instantly challenged Nash when he first saw them. The resulting work is gathered in full colour together with a brief essay by Nash and a short history of the gardens. Beautifully produced, the book acts as a catalogue for the touring exhibition of the works and will be of interest to gardeners and art historians alike.
