The Green Man of Changing Landscapes presents an elemental approach to the cycles of growth, the unity between humans, wildlife and the natural world—trees, vegetation, stone and soil. An ancient symbol, the Green Man represents the cycles of birth, death and renewal, rebirth fueled by snowmelt and the mists of spring. He breathes harmony among the elements of fire, water, earth and air, paying attention to how the winds blow, where the sun first fires up the red Pasqueflower, and how it glints on the moss rock boulders surrounding the pond. From the moment koi shimmer, awakening, beneath untidy, trembling nests of chirping finches, through the fragrant flush of summer to the last leaves of aspen quaking before they drop back to earth, returning to soil. The quietude of deep winter covers berms and beds, blanketing them in snowdrift, while the Green Man awaits the exact moment to spark the cycle anew.
