Rhythms of Nature | Opening Reception 🌿

Join us for the Opening Reception for Rhythms of Nature on Thursday, February 5 from 5:30-7:30PM! ✨ 🌿

About this exhibition: The natural world is full of patterns, rhythms, and dynamic motifs. Walter Anderson saw these elements throughout nature and incorporated them into his artwork. Like Anderson, artists Glenn Miller and Amina Hall were inspired by the distinctive patterns in the bark of trees that surround their homes in Ocean Springs. 

The artists selected trees from the surrounding area, including pines from Twelve Oaks Nature Preserve, live oaks at the Walter Anderson Museum of Art, and others from properties of tree-loving friends and members of the community. They used a technique of tree rubbing with paint on 10-foot scrolls of fabric. Their goal was to create an immersive experience with this installation, bringing the natural world into the Ocean Springs Community Center and highlighting the importance of trees in our Southern landscape.
