Looking for art to add to client projects, Los Angeles-based artist Jennifer Asher found a yawning gap between the Henry Moore bronzes in the Getty Center’s sculpture garden and those grinning gnomes in your neighbor’s backyard. So this UCLA-trained landscape designer teamed up with metal-bending partner Mario Lopez to create a series of limited-edition modern sculptures scaled and priced for the average garden. “The colorful ones are meant to be enjoyed from a distance, to pop the way you might use a flower with a distinct color,” says Asher, “but the weathered-steel pieces are actually my favorites. They continually change colors as they oxidize; it gives them a suedelike quality people want to touch.” Asher says her pieces are the ultimate in sustainability because “they require nothing but admiration.” Sculptures can be custom-ordered to size. terrasculpture.com
