NYBG presents a major site-specific exhibition of sculptural and horticultural installations by visual artist Ebony G. Patterson. Patterson’s work has long examined and experimented with the concept of the garden: depicting, realizing, and creating spaces that evoke the natural world, flowers, and landscape through a practice that uses beauty as an invitation to confront larger societal questions and concerns. The first visual artist ever to embed within the institution for an immersive residency, Patterson is working directly with NYBG’s gardens and collections to form a new body of work that brings her unique perspective on formal gardens to life within the 250-acre National Historic Landmark landscape. The exhibition will reflect a deep engagement with the concept of gardens as human-made interventions in nature, shedding new light on the Botanical Garden while providing new pathways for engagement with the natural world. Bring a lunch or dine on your own at one of the cafes on site.
