These works make use of plant imagery as a metaphor for universal cycles of death and renewal. Many of the artists work within poetic registers that suggest loss or nostalgia and convey a sense of the fragility of the natural environment. All of these artists explore a mediated and stylized nature that in the history of art has often taken the form of a garden. The exhibition is curated by Edie Carpenter. The exhibition will be on display from Friday, June 20, until Sunday, August 24, 2008. The opening reception will be held Friday, June 20, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm and is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be served. On view at Green Hill for the first time, a large selection of Sally Rockriver’s work represents the play of chance as a result of her practice of combining blown glass and ceramics. While she is blowing glass, Rockriver uses ceramic glazes and glass rocks to grow geological worlds on the interior of the hot glass vessel. The results capture moments of chemical reaction that appear like imaginary planets and frozen thermal formations. Rockriver creates narrative landscapes through her multi-work installation of pieces in several different forms: glass columns with crystalline cores, calcite cave formations, and crystal glazed slabs. The Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art is located at 200 N. Davie Street in the Greensboro Cultural Center in downtown Greensboro across from Center City Park.
