An artful exploration of nature’s lines, rhythm and movement
May 10 – September 7
Forest Forms features eighteen sculptures ranging in height from a playful five feet to a monumental twenty feet tall. These larger-than-life works include a majestic fox family, an intricate stack of flowers, an ethereal peacock, and much more and will be on display throughout the arboretum’s grounds. An avid nature lover, artist Huelani Mei uses a distinct “line work” style to convey the form, movement, and rhythm she observes in nature.
Artist Huelani Mei’s artistic journey begins with a simple sketch, capturing the essence of her vision. These sketches are then transformed into tiny maquettes, crafted from pencil steel and measuring just a few inches in size. Through meticulous refinement of lines and angles, Mei breathes life into her creations before bringing them to full-scale fabrication. Crafted from powder-coated steel in a style reminiscent of line drawing, 18 larger-than-life sculptures embody the essence of nature.
