Abstract
your words Abstract. Tending, a Masters of Fine Art Exhibition, is a exhibition that highlights the importance of trees and plants in the art and craft of my everyday life. The manifestation of this idea became an installation of a sculptural landscape that evoked in the audience a sense of awe and confusion, followed by clarity, and tranquility. The exhibition is comprised of sod-grass, bamboo, plants in pots, bonsai trees, a repurposed compressor tank, a shoddily put together table and a stucco alcove. The intention for this show is to reconnect with nature through the growing and nurturing of plants and trees. In expressing my passion for growing these plants, I hope to communicate to my audience the importance of nurturing the relationship we have with nature and the significance of self-reflection in art and in life.
