🎨 Artist Coco Picard interviewed the artist Olga Ziemska about her new, long-running installation at the Morton Arboretum. Ziemska's art incorporates natural materials found throughout the ground
exhibition “Of the Earth,” on view at the Morton Arboretum, and the nature of environmental artworks.
In her latest exhibition, artist Olga Ziemska installed five large-scale, site-specific sculptures around 1,700 acres of the Morton Arboretum. Constructed with natural materials collected and reclaimed from the grounds, these works explore the relationship between human subjectivity and nature as the works transform, exposed to the elements. The Morton is an “outdoor museum” with more than 4,100 different living plant species and 200,000 species of catalogued plants in its collection.
“There is a natural lifespan to the outdoor artworks. They are affected by the surrounding environment, weather, and time. The sculptures are in a slow and constant state of transformation. “There is no separation between humans and nature. Everything in life is derived from the same basic elements that form everything in nature, including ourselves.“Of the Earth”
