SUMMARY:Wild & Wonderful – Folk Art by Alfred Glover
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Gainesville Garden will feature a landscape of whimsical and enchanting flora and fauna this spring with the sculptures of Cape Cod artist Alfred Glover.\nWild & Wonderful: Folk Art by Alfred Glover, presented May 16 – August 30, will showcase a dozen sculptures of folk art inspired by exotic plants and animals seen by the artist on his travels as well as stories and memories from his childhood.\nGlover uses materials that function well outdoors – wood and recycled aluminum from fuel tanks – to create his sculptures. His imagery is mostly animals combined with a variety of colorful foliage, fruits and dazzling flowers – all incorporated into metal trees, trellises and garden gates. The tree sculptures are populated with whimsical birds, fish, snakes, dogs and other creatures that are “at home” in the sculpted tree shapes.\nGlover often combines a sculpture with an original story or imaginative, short fable that he concocts to accompany a new piece he has created.\n“These ideas and visions all come to me in my mind’s eye as I am creating, as though it is some sort of spiritual magic and awakening!” Glover has said. “This spiritual magic reveals itself to me when the piece is complete. Many of the pieces tell a story, yet I do not know the story until the cast of characters reveals itself to me.”\nSome of Glover’s permanent works are displayed at Children’s Hospital Boston, Falmouth Hospital and Long Pasture, a Massachusetts Audubon Sanctuary.\nHis Gainesville exhibit will be accompanied by fun programming, including family-friendly scavenger hunts for searching for common elements in Glover’s sculptures.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
