Meet the Artist: Sarah Peters
Saturday, February 4, 1:30 – 2:30 PM
The Botanical Fainting Couch is an award-winning taxonomy-themed sculpture created by artist Sarah Peters and is currently on-view at Jenkins through February 2023. It is made up of the twenty-six letters of the alphabet and each letter has the texture of a different plant identified by its Latin genus (the scientific name). Join us to meet the artist and learn all about her Botanical Fainting Couch and the investigation, experimentation, and innovation that went into its creation.
This presentation will take place indoors, but dress for the weather to view the sculpture right outside the John J. Willaman Education Center.
Free of charge
