On the grass!

Here's a bit of fun that I had recently. Grass where you wouldn't expect it. Astro turf in fact. It's a barber shop at Whites Hill in Brisbane. I thought it would be good to play with some masculine elements such as grass and Western red cedar. When the shop was completed it had a really strong smell from the cedar, which also added to the "blokey" feel.
When I started looking into artificial grass, I realised what a huge range there was. It's used by golf courses for the putting ranges as well as other sports and also local councils on road side strips. The grass comes in a variety of pile heights and some even has the brownish undergrowth effect.
