Botany of Desire

Curated by Greg Metz  University of Texas at Dallas Main Gallery  March 25-April 23, 2011  Dallas, TX


Drawing inspiration from the reciprocal, co-evolving nature of plants and artists, this group exhibition features installations, paintings, drawings, plantings and mixed media by Claudia Borgna, Kimberly Alexander, Ric Heitzman, Rebecca Beachy, Tracy Hicks, Jeffrey Miranda, Vernon Fimple, Lizzy Wetzel, Julia McLain, Albert Scherbarth, and  Clayton Browning.


"Lizzy Wetzel is a vision Gardener, constructing a dream world gazebo and alter to the plant teachers.  This 'exists in a place deep within the belly of the dream where one meets with guides and gathers information from the ancestors'
MEET ME IN THE VISION GARDEN  
all are welcome, all are one
A stranger left a love offering.  Thank you stranger.
