Jeanie & Bill Wyatt Gallery
Reception Saturday, May 9 | 5-7PM
A Layered Space: Coming Up For Air (v.6) expands this approach by transforming plants and trees into elaborate, hybrid forms. Arnold combines real branches with Canvas Peel leaves and flowers from multiple species, alongside unexpected materials such as scraps from her Closet Series. Wedding dress satin, plaid, and denim are reimagined as foliage, collapsing distinctions between the natural and the domestic. Acting as a horticulturist of this strange landscape, Arnold aims to “almost overwhelm the viewer with a landscape totally twisted up—like elements our minds develop while we sleep, with blended memories and objects.”
