Emerson announces two new exhibits in time for spring
Emerson Center for the Arts & Culture is pleased announce two new exhibits on display in March and April.
The Botany of Math(re): an Exploration of Numbers and Nature by Susie Mathre delves into the intersecting relationships between plants, mathematics, and the patterns they create. Seeds and leaves of local noxious and invasive weeds, metal, wood, glass, and other elements, come together to investigate intriguing geometric shapes, spirals, symmetries and mathematical puzzles found in nature. These works are on display in the Jessie Wilber Gallery March 12 – April 30, 2021.
Emergence by Kurt Palmquist began with a fascination for three-dimensional geometric forms inspired by architecture and light. Through dimensional wall art, paintings, and digital prints, Kurt Palmquist has developed a visual language that harmoniously connects all of his works. Each piece is intriguing when considered as a whole, but offers endlessly evolving compositions as you look deeper into the work. Careful use of forms and color create spaces that invite the imagination to enter and explore as if they were actual structures. Emergence is on display in the Lobby and Weaver room Galleries March 5 – April 23, 2021.
