Terry Maker Artwork Installed at the Gardens

As Denver Botanic Gardens celebrates the re-opening of Marnie’s Pavilion, another meaningful addition has been installed in the grand staircase of the renovated orchid house. Artist Terry Maker’s Garden of Nineveh: Sweet now glows against the cool tones of freshly painted white walls. The work was originally created for installation at MCA Denver in 2008 and represents only half of the two-part mixed media work. Relying on found objects as source material, Maker has a “desire to challenge herself and the viewer to investigate her complex surfaces and meanings.”
