Gallery 204: "From Here to There" by Stacy Lotz

Currently on exhibit in Gallery 204 is an installation titled "From Here to There" by Associate Professor of Stacy Lotz in the Department of Art here at Monmouth College. She descibes her installation with the following:

"From Galesburg to Monmouth and then back - Monmouth to Galesburg

During the back and forth I am increasingly aware of the artistic changes in the stretch of land From Here To There:

Aware of the sometimes harsh, and sometimes subtle, impact of the changing seasons and weather

Aware of crop rotations and planting patterns
Spring fields – Harvest – and Till

Aware of the movement of cattle from one pasture to another – groups of cattle as they graze and the one individual laying at the top of the hill watching over the others

Aware of tall grass along the side of the road that becomes beautiful round sculpture placed systematically, yet effortlessly, along the road - and sometimes they linger for months, but the real beauties disappear before I go back that day

Aware that these changes are about processes and cycles that
significantly impact my comings and goings"

-Stacy Lotz, 2009
