Otherworldly Flora and Futuristic Creatures by the Haas Brothers Illuminate the Nasher Sculpture Center Grounds
A bizarre botanical collection sprouts from the grounds at Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas. A tall, spindly specimen with a droopy head illuminates a walkway, while a sprawling tree lush with strawberries looms large in a gallery. Patinaed in an otherworldly blue, these cast bronze sculptures seem like they’ve emerged from a radioactive swamp or been transplanted from a distant planet.
