Irvine Fine Arts Center: Into the Garden

Irvine Fine Arts Center is pleased to present Into the Garden couples works on fabric by Dani Dodge and sculptural works by Carolyn Mason in an environment that invites viewers to indulge in the act of looking and imagining.

The exhibition features Carolyn Mason’s vivid sculptures comprised of expanding foam, wood, various metals, and felt. Transformed by the artists’ imaginative use of materials and drawing upon inspiration found in biological forms such as fungi, fauna, and reptiles, Mason’s works stand before viewers as radically new objects that evoke curiosity. Similarly evocative of a sense of wonder and discovery, Dani Dodge’s ceiling-hung fabric and ink installation reflects affirmative moments the artist has spent in the Southern California desert.
