Gift of the Virginia and Bagley Wright Collection, 2005, in honor of Karen W. Morse, President, and Sarah Clark-Langager, Curator. Installation funded by Virginia and Bagley Wright and President Karen W. Morse's designation from the Amendt Presidential Endowment.

Description

Webster is an artist who combines the minimalist vocabulary with ecological concerns. Her work varies from earth mounds, cones and cylinders involving soil, sea salt and beeswax to full scale, outdoor gardens. Here, her low-lying copper planter with Cloudberry slowly descends in a conical shape back into the earth.
