Ebony G. Patterson | …things come to thrive…in the shedding…in the molting… | The New York Botanical Garden

Hales is delighted to announce Ebony G. Patterson's major site-specific exhibition, …things come to thrive…in the shedding…in the molting…, at The New York Botanical Garden, now on view through 17 September 2023.

 

Known for her lavishly detailed mixed media installations, Patterson brings her signature style to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and NYBG's landscape and galleries, in a major site-specific exhibition featuring breathtaking and provocative displays of art and nature.

 

…things come to thrive…in the shedding…in the molting… will captivate garden visitors with the beauty of exotic flora and garden-inspired installations - from a monumental peacock sculpture to swarms of glitter-encrusted vultures. Inspired by her immersion in NYBG's collections, Patterson's work will explore entanglements of race, gender and colonialism while inviting visitors to contemplate their own relationships with gardens and the natural world.
