Many thanks to Jack Lenor Larsen, staff and countless volunteers for their efforts.<\/p>\n<p>My approach to the planter as sculptural object has evolved over the years. This years installment is exploring a larger scale. The size posed numbers design challenges that had to be overcome. I am very pleased with the results and feel that the size is appropriate for these unique containers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicoyektai.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_0644.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"336\" alt=\"IMG_0644.JPG\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nicoyektai.com\/blog\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/IMG_2802.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"299\" alt=\"IMG_2802.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Planter #5 is made of Cast Concrete and Sapele. The Concrete is cast in four separate sections and it is then bolted together. This technique has enabled me to increase the scale of my planters.
