Seeing the Tree in the Forest by Mary Beth Bellah
Current Exhibit
Start Date:
June 21, 2022
End Date:
August 13, 2022
Living at the edge of the woods, Mary Beth Bellah finds inspiration and returns frequently to the imagery and thematic use of trees in her work. The experience of living with nature as a daily part of your life changes one’s perspective and how one sees the world.
Each free-hanging tree column captures a component of the forest environment or a personal community relationship expressed in tree form. Each tree stands alone as an individual art work, yet interacts with the others when viewed in the round. Visitors will walk through the installation, viewing through and around the woodland ecosystem. Additional wall fiber pieces will complete and complement the wooded environment while expressing an individual commentary.
