The Alchemist’s Garden is a visual arts installation to be realized at the Philosophical Research Society (PRS) in Los Angeles, that will take the form of a seven-pointed star garden—a living sculptural installation in which each ray corresponds to one of the seven classical planets of alchemical tradition. Each planetary point will be planted with astrologically corresponding botanical species, creating a site-specific artwork that evolves over time through seasonal growth, decay, and regeneration. The Alchemist’s Garden will serve as both an installation and a generative platform through which participating artists will develop new experimental work at the intersection of visual art, ecology, and esoteric research.
