| 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.
