Inspired by her childhood walks through the fields of wildflowers, Beth Galston creates a beautiful glowing garden. The individual elements are cast resin forms in the shape of four-pointed water chestnut pods with a blue LED light embedded in each one. In this setting, Luminous Garden invades the cupboard, reaching out to the viewer with its myriad of magic flowers. The garden is breathing with life, growing out of any opening it can, with the delicate stems swaying in the wind.

Luminous Garden was on view last year as a floor installation in a darkened room at the Christopher Carey Brodigan Gallery, Groton School, Groton, MA (2003). Galston's other installations have been exhibited nationally in galleries and museums, including Socrates Sculpture Park, Long Island City, NY; Mesa Arts and Entertainment Center, Mesa, AZ and the MIT Museum, Cambridge, MA. She teaches and has participated in performance pieces. More information at www.bethgalston.com
