The concept and execution of this exhibit is astonishing! Look at the close-up to understand the detail of the artist’s vision.

In this work, “Plastic Fantastic” by Lee Boroson, you experience the concept as you walk through the passageways and arches, as well as seeing the balloons around you and their shadows on the floor.
Negative space is not only seen, but experienced by the viewer. The plastic becomes and interprets a landscape, challenging the conventional notion of landscape, and underscoring the prevalence and significance of plastic.

This installation is fascinating from multiple points of view. It’s one thing when you look up as a whole; it’s another as a close-up; it’s one more looking through the tubes and seeing the museum windows; and it’s yet another looking down at the design. An installation of polycarbonate tubes, the colors graduate from amber to solid black and evoke a cloud cover from below, and a landscape from above. The light from gallery windows makes it change, and then change again. Fascinating!

Teresita Fernandez is exhibiting some very different installations under the title, “As Above, So Below”. The first are bits of raw graphite fragments attached to a white background, and each with a hand-drawn graphite “tail”. The design is both micro and macro, lots to look at and think about.
Last summer, I saw a similar concept at the Colby College Museum of Art that Maya Lin made with pushpins and their shadows, so it was interesting to see an expanded vision of the same idea.

Consisting of India ink drawings in gold chrome panels, these works have layers that appear and disappear, depending on the viewer’s perspective. Just when you think you understand, you’ll catch sight of your own reflection, and you become the “figure in the landscape”. And then you disappear…

There’s lots to look at as soon as you arrive at the museum. The sign at the top will grab your attention. (But my favorite view is backwards when you leave. Unfortunately, my camera had run out of juice, so I can’t share that image here.)
