Artist Alicia Philley will give a talk about her new sculptural installation, “The Upside Down Forest,” currently on view at The 14th St Corner Contemporary | ECO Museum. She will address the ways her art centers around a local restoration project, which is part of a growing statewide effort led by The Native Prairies Association of Texas.
“The Upside Down Forest” is an abstract visual chronicle of ongoing prairie restoration at Dowell Ranch - just minutes from the artist’s South Austin home. The exhibit opened on August 1 at The 14th St Corner Contemporary Eco Museum and remains on view through the end of the month. It will travel to sister tiny museum The Banton Road Museum of Art for a follow-on exhibit in September.
Tangles of hanging, laser-cut wood, fill the small museum space. Recycled from the scraps of her 2022-23 installation at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the elongated forms represent prairie grass roots, which can grow up to 16 feet deep.
