"Rich Soil"

Longue Vue House & Gardens presents an outdoor exhibit: Rich Soil. Sculpted from thousands of pieces of wire hooked and looped together, each of presenting artist Kristine Mays’ garments embodies a fleeting gesture or expression that delivers a message of strength while challenging how we view ourselves and others. Rich Soil challenges people to acknowledge the ancestors, the workers of the land, those deemed lesser than, the bodies that have been used and disposed of. The artwork moves beyond beauty and decoration– provoking thoughts of spirituality, racial justice, and humanity. The exhibit opened in October and is on view through April.
