Wimbledon Tennis Grass Art


Grass wasn’t just being played on this year it was also being used for art by Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey.

These two artists photographed three people before the event:

  • Tara Moore - competitor
  • Eddie Seaward - groundsman
  • Lizzie May - Wimbledon Junior Tennis coach

and then protected these images onto grass seeded panels as negatives.

The result was the areas that got more light went darker creating a photorealistic image.

Normally this wouldn’t be my kind of design and I’m not saying that I’d ever purchase any such art (if indeed that’s possible as this does have a finite lifespan) but I’m really impressed by what Heather and Dan have done.

It shows just a little bit of thinking outside of the box can create something very nature and very precise at the same time.

Went oooh first at PSFK via creative review
