Forest of Dreams: Contemporary Tree Sculpture features the work of 15 celebrated artists from around the world.
Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, the nation’s premier botanic and sculpture experience, is delighted to announce a compelling exhibition of tree-related works by 15 major artists. Forest of Dreams: Contemporary Tree Sculpture will run October 20, 2023–February 25, 2024. This engaging and timely exhibition unites the diverse work of national and international artists to explore the multifaceted associations and dimensions of trees—from metaphorical and ecological to the mythological and personal. Forest of Dreams delves deep into the intricate realm of trees and invites guests to reevaluate their relationship with nature and the living world around them. Trees, as a source of life and as symbols of growth and connectivity, have always held a profound place in human culture and consciousness. Bringing a vast range of materials and methods to the subject, the artists in this exhibition convey the full power and poignancy of trees. Several hybrid sculptures, combining human and tree anatomy, serve to remind us of our close kinship with these complex botanical beings.
