Biological Garden

The garden would float triumphantly in space. It would be similar to a balloon but not spherical. More flat, like an inflatable filet of Sole. It would be covered with a biological surface so the garden would receive and be nourished by the sun's rays the same way as the plants and flowers with in it. The garden would be capable of various tensions so it could be navigated in space, steered remotely by radiation or radio waves.

Salvador Dali characters are on Islands in the waters of the biological Garden. Like a hydroponic feeding system of today. The Vines are held up by crutches one of Salvador Dali's signature Embellishments in many of his paintings.

In 1972-73 Robert Chase proposed the concept to Dali of picturing himself as the 20th century Leonardo da Vinci, giving the world what he imagined the future would hold. Knowing that Dali admired da Vinci greatly as a thinker and a creative genius, still, was not adequate preparation for his reaction. Dali rolled his eyes as indication of an extraordinary epiphany, and (please imagine an outrageous French-Catalan accent) he loudly exclaimed, "Fantastique! Bravo! Dal-i creates the future.

The work of Salvador Dali (1904-1989) is associated with the surrealist movement of the 20th Century. A diverse and multi-talented artist, Dali is considered one of the most collected artists today, and his works offer an incredible opportunity for enormous appreciation in value. In addition to his original works, Dali produced works on paper for reproduction using dry point, etching, woodcut, and lithography. Many of his works are held in prestigious museums, private and public collections world-wide.
