Snail and Snake Mound, The Garden of Cosmic Speculation, Dumfries Scotland, 1989 +

"Forty major areas, gardens, bridges, landforms, sculptures, terraces, fences and architectural works.  Covering thirty acres in the Borders area of Scotland, the garden uses nature to celebrate nature, both intellectually and through the senses, including the sense of humor.  A water cascade of steps recounts the story of the universe, a terrace shows the distortion of space and time caused by a black hole, a "Quark Walk" takes the visitor on a journey to the smallest building blocks of matter, and a series of landforms and lakes recall fractal geometry." - from his personal website

"Landform as gateway, abstraction of movement and human form.  Made of 1.5 million tonnes of earth, she will be 34 metres (112 feet) high and 400 metres (1,300 feet) long. The landform can be enjoyed in parts and within many different contexts including the distant landscape, the causeways, lakes, willow islands, and viewing pavilions." - from his personal website

"The theme of cells dividing, mitosis, is organised around the basic idea of life, the theme of healthy cell division and growth.  The idea of interconnected, living cells is conveyed by the visual and physical connections. Both the building, with its green copper, and the landforms with their green turf, share a related colour and a similar language of forms: similar angles, dimensions and vesica shape.  The Centre, designed by Page & Park architects, is to the south of the Raigmore Hospital." - from his personal website
