Arts Review: Times Argus - 20 May 2023
TImes Argust Review of My Mother’s Garden as a part of the group exhibit One + One is Greater than Two at Studio Place Arts in Barre, VT.
Tiny blue forget-me-nots, golden black-eyed Susans, bright white daisies - a profusion of flowers festoon the front of Studio Place Arts’ Main Gallery. The flowers, hundreds of photographed blooms, drape down from the ceiling in gentle curves.
The blooms of Marcie Scudder’s My Mother’s Garden are two-sided photographs, cut into triangular and semicircular pieces, folded and stitched together in hexagonal patterns - somewhat like a quilt. Just as in the garden, up close the individual blossoms are exquisite. Together and abstracted by their rearrangement in Scudder’s work, they’re a summer experience.
My Mother’s Garden is among the artworks of 27 artists in the exhibition: One + One is Greater than Two at Barre’s Studio Place Arts through June 24.
