SUMMARY:“Big and Small” Summer Exhibit Opening Day
DESCRIPTION:This summer, discover a world where scale shifts and perspective transforms everything you thought you knew about plants. Big and Small, a whimsical outdoor exhibit by Tork Collaborative Arts with Tony Ball, invites guests to explore towering blooms, oversized botanicals, and tiny details brought to life in unexpected ways.\nHighlights include giant trumpet-shaped sculptures inspired by the carnivorous pitcher plants of the genus Sarracenia, a vibrant oversized bouquet modeled after the globe-like blooms of Gomphrena, and a hillside field of poppies in Cyclone red and gold. Together, the sculptures create a colorful summer journey that blends art, horticulture, and curiosity, inviting guests of all ages to explore the garden from fresh perspectives.\nKnown for their playful approach to scale, interaction, and imagination, Tork Collaborative Arts creates installations that invite curiosity, conversation, and discovery. Founded in 1998, Tork’s works have been featured in botanical gardens and public spaces around the world.\nLearn more about the artists at www.torkworks.com.\n
