Dew Gardens

I think the place was Shropshire, but I can't remember the artist's name. I was reading an article in a house/gardens magazine about the cutting-edge styles of the new English gardens, and the dew garden had a profile. It involves a big lawn, morning dew, and the artist running around in cool patterns with some kind of rake or broom. By noon, the artwork is gone, because that's the nature of dew.

The artist said that his project was inspired by "Eastern" ideas about ephemereality and the ruthlessness of nature. I don't know how fair it is to attribute 100% waste to the Eastern man. Something tells me that he would say this artist is being a horse's ass.
