GALLERY VI
Vermont artist Pat Musick’s art is a reflection of the tensions that exist between man and the natural environment. It addresses the havoc that mankind has done to the natural world and the devastation that the natural world has wreaked upon mankind. She searches for ways to create harmony and reconciliation of this situation both in the media and the content. Stone and wood speak for the physical world while rusted steel addresses human abuse of the environment. Tree sections make nests for wild turkey eggs…a place of shelter and harmony. Musick has taught art at Syracuse University, Cornell and the Universities of Houston and Arkansas; her work is in over fifty museums and public buildings throughout the United States. The Crossing is in SVAC’s permanent collection and The Gatekeepers and Eagle Feather Chimes, in the lower meadow, are on indefinite loan.
