Explore our ExhibitsWondrous Creatures: Where Science and Art Intersect
This exhibit was on display May 25, 2018, through September 16, 2018
Ariel Bowman offered us a whimsical look at some of nature’s oddest prehistoric creatures. Five sculptures of animals with 18th-century furniture acted as a bridge between art and science. This was a time period when humans’ relationship with nature was beginning to expand through scientific discovery. Accompanying pictures illustrated the sculpting process and showed how a ball of clay is transformed into intricate pieces of art.
This exhibit can now be enjoyed online:
