Here, there are some photos of the  stone-moss-sand  garden  

"Under the linden"


constructed by me near Warsaw:

This is a tea garden and a "garden of formal study" as well.

My work on this garden started in August 2007, and the garden is still under construction.  It is situated
under the linden tree of bonsai-style.

The garden consists of 11 stones. Most of them were found near Suwalki (North-East of Poland).
The architecture of the garden is governed by two stone-triads. The higher one is formed by two Niwa-ishi
stones and the Tsukubai. The flat one is a part of a walking path, and can also serve as a place to sit for
three people.

The lantern is inspired by the  Japanese "tachi-gata" lanterns. In the Japanese tradition, this kind of  lanterns is
made from a homogeneous material. My lantern is made from stones found near Warsaw. Since, in Poland,
any two stones are different, we adopt here a more flexible style of Japanese rustic "yomodori" lanterns.
The work with stones was done with the help of  Marek Filewicz, a stone-cutter from Warsaw.

The photos were taken by Joanna Pragacz  (joasia.pragacz@wp.pl) , who has all copyright in this matter.
