Majors and Minors

A topiary themed piece for the Victoria & Albert Museum's QEST fundraising event. The character was a neighbour from Pattinson's childhood – an elderly Sergeant Major who planted conifers in a tidy sequence around the perimeter of his garden. The plants jump and twitch as the Sergeant salutes and barks out his orders in a military drill.
