SUMMARY:Art in Motion: 25 Years of Sculpture by George Sherwood
DESCRIPTION:Explore an extraordinary collection of kinetic sculptures\, masterfully crafted by artist and engineer George Sherwood.

A collection of Sherwood’s work\, Wind\, Waves and Light\, was featured at New England Botanic Garden in 2019. A few favorites from this collection return as part of Art in Motion along with pieces not previously displayed at the Garden and one new\, never-before-seen sculpture.
