MOBILE, AL (PNAN) – On view through Sunday, April 23, 2023, “Gardens of Hope” is the first solo museum exhibition of artworks by Wanda Sullivan, which she examines the intersection between the natural world, her gardens and the effects of climate change at the Mobile Museum of Art.
As an avid gardener who passionate about flowers, she says, “My flowers are beautiful, but they are monsters—contemporary, biomorphic Frankensteins. They are designed to seduce the viewer and lure them in, just like our dependency on fossil fuels, phones, tablets, and computers do.”
