Features
nine artists who will present large-scale installations and otherwise
substantial groups of works. These works make use of plant imagery
as a metaphor for universal cycles of death and renewal. Many of the
artists work within poetic registers that suggest loss or nostalgia
and convey a sense of the fragility of the natural environment. All
of these artists explore a mediated and stylized nature that in the
history of art has often taken the form of a garden. The exhibition
is curated by Edie Carpenter. The exhibition will be on display
from Friday, June 20, until Sunday, August 24, 2008. The opening reception
will be held Friday, June 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm and is
free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served.
The participating artists include Nancy Baker,
Faye Foster, Carmen Grier, Bryant Holsenbeck, Ann Marie Kennedy, Kevin
Mullins, Ann Resnick, Sally Rockriver, and Leah Sobsey.
