Winter’s Spring: An Ältere Garten will feature my newest sculptural work (20 foot tulips and birds!!!!) plus some varied sculptural and drawing work from my collection. I hope you will make the trip- the bonus is that the Miller Art Museum is in Door County one of the most beautiful places in Wisconsin!
Exhibition Brief
Bulbs buried underground in winter have a hidden life inside, not breaking ground for months. What happens when we see the hints of spring in the depths of winter? In a time when the physical vulnerability of our elders is very present, often we observe the reemergence of the innocence of childhood wonder and tenderness as the weight of years seems to shed away. Vibrant life can hide itself under the cover of snowy hair and weathered skin. “Ältere Garten” explores this idea through vibrant colors, sculptural creations, imagery and materials that recall the simplicity of kindergarten merged with the fragile beauty of those in the winter season of their lives.
Artist Pat Zastow has had a garden for over fifty years. I am pleased to feature some of her detailed journals from her garden as well as some brand new work created specifically for this show. Pat is an example of creativity, discipline and joy. She is a dear friend and I am excited to share her work with you!
