The Gardeners

Guardians of the earth and everything that grows.  

The gardeners fertilize everything that grows and walk with seeds in hand and take care of the cycle of everything. The human features in the sculptures make them easily readable, but the more you look at them, the more you notice the undulating deformation and skewness, as if the surface is on its way to becoming something else or as if it has just been part of the earth and has briefly gathered into a human sensation.  

Where would you place a gardener, and what would you like to see grow?
