From baking banana bread to taking up cycling, many people have taken up new hobbies during the pandemic. One artist living on the west coast of Canada started spending time creating extraordinary sculptures out of twigs and dried grass—then placing them in her local park, where they look like they sprang from nature’s storybook.
Even if you can’t get to Robert Burnaby Park near Vancouver, Nickie Lewis has been posting photos of her intricate creatures on social media so people outside British Columbia can get to know them.
From dragons to trolls, fairies to mermaids and Star Wars Ewoks, Lewis conjures the whimsical and mythical, creating big and small surprises for strangers.
If you do live in the area, she created a map to help you find the art. Park officials said they have “no plans to remove the artworks at this time.”
