Ready to Show







Moving counter-clockwise around the room, we begin with Stephanie Hornsby's maze, which yields beautiful surprises as one takes a closer look, Anita Rufat's mall bench recreated as a sculptural shelter and Jacqueline Bayliss' perch from which to view metalic vines and the creatures that live in them....spaces for rest and rejuvenation.

From there it is a brief step to Jillian Warren's vertiginous view out the Library window, framed by Victorial Miller's overflowing bookshelves.

To the left, Hiroki Haraguchi's tree swoops amidst free-standing windows creating patterns of movement echoing those in the library.

Denyce Coomb's and Timothy McMillan's flowering texts and petal steps lead us in shimmering circles to Jonothan Maher's cardboard palm trees and leaves.

Pivotal to the installation is a combination of marquee and gangplank, a bridge over water that introduces the space, created by Karen Tremmel and Jonothan Maher.
