Dead Flowers Live as Art
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Pandra Williams made 11,000 lbs of adobe bricks and gathered native plants from hither and yon for “Tumulus,” her six-foot-tall, sheltering structure in the back corner of eyedrum.
Her piece is the cozy comfort station in “Dead Flowers,” which is otherwise devoted to thoughts of ephemerality and death. But, like the brilliant colors of autumn leaves, which signal their imminent demise, the artists put on a lively show.
Stan Woodard’s “Passage” — a bower made of kudu vines—was green and fragrant when the show opened. Now the leaves are graying and stiff. On one hand, it’s an unintended riff on the drought. On the other, it’s reassuring to discover that kudzu is not immortal.
The show closes Saturday.
