11. …things come to thrive…in the shedding…in the molting… at NYBG
The New York Botanical Garden’s spring and summer exhibition will include sculptural and horticultural installations by visual artist Ebony G. Patterson. On view from May 27 through September 17, 2023, Patterson’s work is titled …things come to thrive…in the shedding…in the molting… Patterson will bring her signature style of lavishly detailed mixed-media installations to the garden’s historic spaces.
Her work will include a monumental peacock sculpture and swarms of glitter-encrusted vultures along with other pieces inspired by the exotic flora of the gardens. The installation, while being visually stimulating, will also explore topics of race, gender, and colonialism while inviting visitors to contemplate their own relationships with gardens and the natural world.
