The Natural State of Imaginary Things: Lisa Myers Bulmash

Please welcome Lisa Myers Bulmash for her exhibit, The Natural State of Imaginary Things. A word from the artist:

"I grew up with an appreciation of nature that was mediated by words and books. Reading widely and voraciously filled my head with words for certain plants years before I ever saw them in person. Then, when I began to read gardening and botany books in preparation for this exhibition, I was drawn to descriptions that anthropomorphized nature, like referring to categories of plants as 'families.'

The work in this exhibition is the result of a generous interpretation of 'nature.' Birdsong emerges from a human throat; flowers grow hands and faces."

The exhibit runs October 2-30 during library open hours. Join us for a reception in the library on Saturday, October 11, from 12:00 to 2:00 pm.
