| Moss Place East London, doll chair and knitting basket, moss, and fertilizer |
Steve Wheen is a a guerrilla gardener. His medium of choice is nature and doll house props, which he transports into London's many potholes along quiet streets. After he is satisfied with his work, he photographs it and then removes the props. Besides just wanting to make people smile and create art, he uses his little worlds to show the dilapidated state of England's roads. He called it "a creative outlet for something that annoys[him]." His creations utilize the element of scale due to the size of potholes. Also, he uses the element of color to cause his artwork to stand out and grab the attention of those passing by. I chose this artist because of his odd choice of placement for his artwork.
