The Flinn Gallery’s latest exhibit, Forms of Nature: Joan Goldin and Leigh Taylor Mickelson opens Thursday, October 27.

This exhibition includes an extensive range of paintings, photos, and prints by Joan Goldin; and ceramic sculptures by Leigh Taylor Mickelson. Together, they show an extraordinary breadth of inspiration drawn from the forms of nature.

Forms of Nature, the Flinn Gallery’s second show of the season, illuminates Nature’s countless guises, in the endless variety of our ever-changing surroundings. Our world is filled with objects that are part of a creation scheme that predates man’s structures, and each of us imagines nature’s objects differently.
