Robert Boyd's Book Report: Yard Art and Handmade Places: Extraordinary Expressions of Home

 Robert Boyd


Tonight I did two reports. First was this one on Yard Art and Handmade Places: Extraordinary Expressions of Home by Jill Nokes with Pat Jasper, with photos by Krista Williams except for some photos by John Fulbright. It deals with gardens and environments in houses all around Texas. I focus my report on her chapters on Charlie Stagg, Cleveland Turner, aka the Flower Man, Vince Hanneman who built Austin's Cathedral of Junk, Rufino Loya Rivas' Casa De AzĂșcar in El Paso, and Dr. Joe Smith's yard sculptures in Caldwell, Texas.
