Rich Soil at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
Rich Soil is a body of sculptures created from thousands of pieces of wire, looped, overlapped, and hooked together in a way in which the human form is revealed.
The exhibit is composed of 29 pieces each grouped into seven vignettes. It is on view at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden from January 17 through March 9th, 2025.
Rich Soil challenges people to acknowledge the ancestors, the workers of the land, the bodies that have been used and treated as disposable. The artwork moves beyond beauty and decoration– provoking thoughts of spirituality, racial justice, and humanity. Loosely inspired by the Alvin Ailey dancers, it has accentuated ideas of freedom, reverence, and worship with the ever-changing ecology of the land as its stage.
