Appreciation towards Jupiter Artland for providing the following description:

这是一个多年前的项目，由美国艺术家charles jencks完成。“细胞生活”是八个景观地貌与四个湖泊还有连通它们的长堤一起组成的大地景观雕塑。绿色流体几何形状的漩涡用抽象的方式体现出细胞的有丝分裂，细胞膜与细胞核等关系。这件艺术作品位于英国一座占地百亩以上的庄园，业主是jupiter artland，该机构每年都会组织和邀请艺术家，雕塑家，大地景观家实施一个新项目。机构还有慈善组织，他们还为当地学校提供教育资源。同时还致力于培养杰出艺术家。Jupiter Artland推出的项目，每年都值得期待。

Eight landforms and a connecting causeway surround four lakes and a flat parterre for sculpture exhibits.

The theme is the life of the cell, cells as the basic units of life, and the way one cell divides into two in stages called mitosis (presented in a red sandstone rill). Curving concrete seats have cell models surrounded by Liesegang rocks. Their red iron concentric circles bear an uncanny relationship to the many organelles inside the units of life. From above, the layout presents their early division into membranes and nuclei, a landform celebration of the cell as the basis of life.

THE STORY OF JUPITER

Works by many of today’s leading artists, sculptors and land artists have been commissioned and then constructed in situ.

The relationship of each artwork with its specific topographical location is a crucial feature of the artland, that is, art within the landscape.

Jupiter Artland has charitable status and is committed to providing an educational resource for schools in the region.

The Foundation is also committed to nurturing the work of outstanding contemporary artists. To this end it aims to offer a unique annual residency on an invitation basis and will continue to commission new site specific works. In conception, Jupiter Artland is a continuing work-in-progress.
