Have you heard of topiary?
Its the horticultural art of sculpting trees and shrubs into defined shapes.
The ongoing series is inspired by his own cat, Tolly, who sadly passed away five years ago.
However, his feline friend has been given a new lease on life through a fictional character.
Initially these were done by me just for fun, Saunders tells My Modern Met.
One of his images went viral onFacebook, and people believed it to be a real topiary.
Tolly died in 2016, but he lives on through Saunders art.
Over time, Saunders images have become more complex, and some take days to create.
The surreal series isnt just cool to look at, thoughit has a fun narrative.
However, occasionally, hes pictured with some friends.
