Sculpture Garden
Sculpture uniquely provides full-sensory experiences, especially when accessible in outdoor spaces rather than inside museums or galleries.
Visible from the street, my sculpture garden has become well-known, and I give personal tours to those who are interested. Winooski is Vermont’s most diverse and densely populated community, with more than 36 languages spoken in this 1.5 square mile city.
Continuing to integrate sculpture and landscape, I’m determined to realize my ideal sculpture environment – one that is accessible to people from all walks of life and sensitively scaled for human interaction. I envision sculptures experienced with all five senses in a garden full of colors, scents, birds, and planted edibles for both animals and humans. Gardens brings hope and metaphor to daily life. As statues of influential men topple, perhaps no better time exists to examine values, meaning and feminist history in public statuary.
