As part of her ongoing series of installations, Angiola Churchill created a new paper garden in the conservatory room of Glyndor House. Sacred Grove is geometric and organic in nature, the patterned white papers float from above. As light passes through the gauzy sheets it gives the room an ethereal quality. The garden's fragility is reminiscent of the vulnerability faced in life while simultaneously exuding a feeling of optimism, as the viewer walks through it.

Angiola Churchill's recent exhibitions include Symbolic Images , Crecloo Art Gallery, Jenkintown, PA (2004), and Angiola Churchill - Beyond the Garden , Museo di Palazzo Fortuny, Venice (2003). She is Professor Emerita of New York University; former Chair of the Department of Arts & Arts Professions at the Steinhardt School of Education and Director of the N.Y.U. Graduate Studio Program in Venice, Italy since 1974. More information at www.madc.ac.cr/madc/ingles/2001_2.html
