I really love designer Pete Dungey’s “Pothole Gardens”. In an attempt to highlight the many surface imperfections on British roads, he planted potholes with bright flowers. I like to think motorists moved their wheels to avoid squishing the flowers which, come to think of it, prevents the negative consequences of potholes while creating a little burst of joy! This project reminds me of Juliana Santacruz Herrera’s knit potholes that I posted about previously. Anytime an urban eyesore is made beautiful and colourful, it just makes a city a happier place.
