With these five sculptures of human figures, three of which depict female forms, Polish American environmental artist Olga Ziemska will become the first woman to have a major sculpture installation on the Arboretum’s 1,700 acres — a huge canvas many artists can only dream of having. “Of the Earth,” which will remain until spring 2025, will also be the largest of Ziemska’s exhibitions anywhere in the world.
“I use art as a tool to better understand the things we often overlook,” Ziemska said in a news release. “Humans have a complex relationship with the natural world, but there is no separation between people and nature. Everything on Earth is of the Earth.”
