Michelle Stuart: From the Silent Garden

Williams College Artist-in-Residence Program, Williamstown MA
1979

A fine copy. "Stuart pioneered the utilization of organic mediums such as earth, wax, seeds, and plants to the vertical surface experience. These works that go beyond the bounds of traditional artistic resources articulate the complex processes through a language of exploration of both the physicality of materials and cultural and scientific issues not generally thought of in the vocabulary of art. The changes that take place in organic matter, the extinction series and the series on genetic variation, explore scientific issues that provide a new art vocabulary. [.] Her work references a range of influences, from history, astronomy, botany and her extensive travels to ancient archaeological sites." (from the artist's homepage). Fantastic work. Hard to find.
