Play Time

Without the invention of the lawn, lots of outdoor games wouldn’t exist as we know them today. Soccer, badminton, and croquet are just a few that rely on an open field of mowed grass. Sandra Bacon reinterprets croquet and reminds us that lawns are places to play and have fun.

In collaboration with Ann Bingham-Freeman and Christopher Campagna
