CHADDS FORD, PA
.- A whimsical outdoor sculpture has sprung up on the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art s campus grounds for the summer. Now on view through November 7, the Queen Anne s Lace Pod is a temporary, site-specific installation by Virginia-based artist Ian Stabler. Made entirely of natural materials gathered and found onsite, the towering sculptural pod is located in Potts Meadow along the Brandywine s Harvey Run Trail in Chadds Ford, PA.
Stabler was commissioned by the Brandywine River Museum of Art as part of its ongoing sculptural program inviting artists to explore their responses to the local landscape. This is the fifth commissioned project in a series that has included Matthew Jensens Alongside Tall Grasses (2014), James Wellings Gradients (2015), Dylan Gauthiers highwatermarks (2017), and Kathleen Vances Brand
