Curator Amy Lipton visits with Habitat for Artist residents Marion Wilson, Michele Hersh and Michael Asbill on 5.17. A cool rainy day was good for staying inside the container and having discussions with visitors.

Our resident "seedy" artist Michael Asbill continues to green the HFA exterior and works with visitors to create seed sculptures made from plaster molds attached to the wall. The molds made of seeds and soil are to be taken home and planted. Carla Goldberg adds additional water patterns to the windows that create a festive, colorful view that changes with the light when looking inside or out.

Habitat for Artists at Brookfield Place continues with its daily changing artist program. Carla Goldberg works on glass with water inspired forms that play with the light. Molly Rausch works on ink drawings and "maps" using found and recycled materials. Visitors work inside and outside the habitat. Open every day from 10 - 6pm through May 27th.
