Of the Earth is the most recent large-scale art installation at the Morton Arboretum near Chicago. The five sculptures by the Polish-American artist Olga Ziemska are constructed from materials gathered at the Arb along with steel and glass-fiber reinforced concrete (and in one piece, astroturf for a year-round maintenance-free carpet of grass).
