Cleaners of Land

            The visual artist Ebony G. Patterson is creating a new site-specific installation for the New York Botanical Garden. She hopes it will prompt visitors to think about what lies beneath the sprawling 250 acres of plants, waterfalls, rolling hills and ponds. “A garden is an embellishment on the landscape,” said Patterson. “What happens when you begin to peel back the landscape and look not just between or beneath the plants but also in the soil?”

The piece, which includes a focus on glass vultures, will be on display May 27 through Sept. 17. There will also be glass peacocks and casts of extinct plant species, all springing from the artist’s desire to invite visitors to reconsider traditionally “icky” parts of nature in terms of their necessary roles and their potential as catalysts for disruption and change.
