Garden artist uses found objects to shape tranquil yard
Pisani transforms junk from auctions salvage yards and alleys into outdoor sculptures and a Japanese inspired fence and water features. He salvages bricks pipes springs gears and old barn materials to create wind responsive rods and a serene garden space that blends art and gardening. He emphasizes trial and error plant choices and the calming, light exercise of digging and rearranging. Jennifer Oldridge, a Kansas University graduate and former landscaper, provides context.
