The Morton Arb has added three new sculptures to its "Human + Nature" exhibition. My blog post from last year shows the original five. This year we went to see the new pieces and revisit the older ones.
 |
| "Gingko" is just outside the Visitor's Center. It's my favorite of the new pieces. |
 |
| "Mycelia" is certainly an appropriate name for this sculpture. It's somewhat disquieting with all those fungi emerging from the human form. |
 |
| "Sentient" is one of the original sculptures and, to my mind, is similar to "Mycelia" with all the protrusions from the figure. My least-favorite of all the pieces. |
 |
| "Ephemera" is the last of the three new sculptures. It's smaller than the old pieces of similar theme, and the I don't care for the daffodils and color scheme. |
 |
| "Hallow" is the most prominent of the original five sculptures, since it's very close to the lake and the Visitor's Center. It's huge - and inviting. |
 |
| "UMI" is another large sculpture that invites you into her womb. |
 |
"Heartwood" also just about demands that you walk through the interior - and count the tree rings should you desire to. |
 |
| "Basilica" is the only piece that doesn't have a face. While it is clearly marked that "you may touch, but not climb", it's practically invites you to climb through the vines and sit in the hands. (But, no, we obeyed the rules.) |
