Flora is the life-source of so many things on this planet. They bring joy and security, beauty and strength. To honor these magnificent beings, Luke created the Hanging Slab-Dropped Planter (or Vase). These planters are not your typical flower pot. Hanging on the wall, like a painting, they elevate the plant from the ground and give it a unique home to grow from. Each Hanging Slab-Dropped Planter is distinctly formed by the slab dropping process. Pushing this process to the point of rupture gives the plant a ‘hole’ to emerge from. Hand-bulding techniques are used to complete the work with a space for soil or water.

Hanging Slab-Dropped Planters will requires maintenance. Small rooted and low water consuming plants do better than others in this vertical (compact) arrangement. Contact lshalan@gmail.com with any questions about planting and maintenance.

Luke created a large installation of Hanging Slab-Dropped Planters that can soon be viewed at Proper Hotel and Residence in Austin, TX. This installation was created in collaboration with Kelly Wearstler
