It is with great joy that we opened the exhibition Days of Reverie to the public on October 25 with a reception on November 2, 2024.
I created a site-specific installation in one of their gallery spaces at Sturt Haaga Gallery called Arboreal Soul. It features around 1500 leaves individually pinned to the wall and ceiling in various sacred geometric designs. I spent the past year gathering leaves from Descanso Gardens, selected them, treated them with various metallic leaf foils to enchance aspects of the natural leaf patterns. I also include fiber works, hanging sculpture, and an interactive aspect to the exhibiton. Read and see more by visiting my webpage.
Descanso Gardens presents Days of Reverie, an exhibition at the Sturt Haaga Gallery showcasing new bodies of work by four Los Angeles-based visual artists: Catherine Ruane, Debbie Korbel, Jason Jenn, and Jill Sykes.
Accompanying these visual works is a specially composed musical score by Joseph Carrillo, the exhibition’s guest artist.
This project was initiated and curated by Vojislav Radovanović, who envisioned each artist creating entirely new works inspired directly by the beautiful environment of Descanso Gardens.
The works presented in this project vary from paintings, drawings, and sculptures to interactive site-specific installations, sound, and video.
The Sturt Haaga Gallery and its programs are funded, in part, by an endowment from Heather Sturt Haaga and Paul G. Haaga, Jr.
Days of Reverie is open at the Sturt Haaga Gallery from October 25, 2024–January 26, 2025, 10am–4pm daily. Entry to the Gallery is included in the price of admission or membership.
