The Miller Library welcomes Katy Gilmore for her exhibit,
Earth Apparelled With Plants: Watercolors, Artists' Books, and Hand-Colored Prints. From the artist’s statement:
For the title of this exhibition, I used a phrase from John Gerard’s “Dedicatorie” to his Herball, originally published in 1597: “…what greater delight is there than to behold the earth apparelled with plants?” And I hope my pieces for this exhibition honor that thought. There are big watercolor paintings of meadow flowers, drawn and painted from life in season, and 24 hand-colored prints of watercolors of flowers from my garden, painted from January to December of 2023. Also included are 20 “Pockets Books,” a winter project, illuminating that “greater delight” and also being a nod to libraries - to the Miller Library in particular - a rich resource of horticulture books about the earth “apparelled with plants.”
The exhibit is open during library
hours.
