"Plants and biological growth are the stuff of Lobberecht's day job as a gardener and landscape designer. ... Lobberecht's drawings depend [on a] feeling of organic growth, on juxtaposition and change and repetition signaling a continually morphing composition. Sections of drawings often disengage to become part of a new work; bits and pieces appear and disappear; some never return. Each drawing is like a garden that takes on a life of its own."
