Ian Berry is known for his masterful works created exclusively from denim. This last year he had a denim installation on display at the Garden Museum in London, which actually was a garden that Ian created entirely from denim. This Secret Garden as it was titled featured flora, fauna, grass, and everything else one could find in nature patterned out in that all too familiar shade of denim blue.
