I think that you will find that the majority of "these people" are not in fact artists at all. Like Chris Beard the originator of the grass humps planned for the Coppice, they are architects and landscapers. And while the Royal Academy may insist that Architects take an equal place alongside Artists in their Summer Exhibitions, I am sure that none of could mistake the product of one for the other. Unless of course you knew nothing at all about the subject (unlikely) or you were the NWRDA or Midpennine Arts.
