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. Art in Motion spans an impressive 25 years of Sherwood’s artistic journey\, showcasing 17 intricate stainless-steel sculptures that move in the wind and reflect the sunlight. Drawing inspiration from patterns and perspectives in nature such as birds in flight\, ripples and reflections on the surface of water\, and floral forms\, each sculpture captures the dynamic forces of nature and reflects the beauty of our living world. Art in Motion invites visitors to New England Botanic Garden to find moments of tranquility and joy while considering the subtle\, ongoing changes taking place in the natural world around us. Each sculpture featured in Art in Motion varies in shape\, size\, and movement\, ranging from smaller more intimate sculptures to large-scale works reaching up to 21 feet. 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. Discover them all this spring\, summer\, and fall! Guided golf cart tours of the exhibition are available Thursdays from 11 – 11:45AM. Learn more at https://nebg.org/art-in-motion/.

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. Art in Motion spans an impressive 25 years of Sherwood’s artistic journey\, showcasing 17 intricate stainless-steel sculptures that move in the wind and reflect the sunlight. Drawing inspiration from patterns and perspectives in nature such as birds in flight\, ripples and reflections on the surface of water\, and floral forms\, each sculpture captures the dynamic forces of nature and reflects the beauty of our living world. Art in Motion invites visitors to New England Botanic Garden to find moments of tranquility and joy while considering the subtle\, ongoing changes taking place in the natural world around us. Each sculpture featured in Art in Motion varies in shape\, size\, and movement\, ranging from smaller more intimate sculptures to large-scale works reaching up to 21 feet. 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. Discover them all this spring\, summer\, and fall! Guided golf cart tours of the exhibition are available Thursdays from 11 – 11:45AM. Learn more at https://nebg.org/art-in-motion/.
