DOGTOWN AND ZBOYS director Stacy Peralta, of commercial production company Nonfiction Unlimited, brings the other side of his creativity to light – intimate portraits of artists who use the earth as their canvas. “What will you create?” is the question that Stacy was able to bring to life for GSD&M / Austin and their client John Deere. Stacy traveled to Kansas, Long Island, NY and South Carolina to capture stories of four landscape artists and their creations using their John Deere lawn and garden equipment.
The most fascinating story comes from a South Carolina man named Pearl, whose visually stunning creation draws visitors from all over the country. Pearl’s efforts took a cornfield and turned it into an intricate work of art with an Alice In Wonderland sensibility. In these spots Stacy was able to capture the unique gardens, and the artists behind the creation.
