"Tilting at Windmills," an installation at Beals Preserve
"Tilting at Windmills," an installation by Jon Laustsen MFA 02 SC, will be available to view from June 10–September 17, 2023.
Like monumental relics of a bygone time, "Tilting at Windmills" bridges prehistoric and distant-future perspectives in a vision born to cultivate greater connections beyond our lifespan. This site-specific installation features a singular, 12 ft. tall wind turbine sculpture made of hand-applied concrete and paint over wood, welded metal and foam. Across the meadow's trail is found a circular ring of smaller wind turbine sculptures that surround an egg-shaped mound on which miniature sprouts of the same emerge.
Art on the Trails is a juried art installation that takes place annually at the Elaine and Phillip Beals Preserve in Southborough, Massachusetts. The exhibition goes from June to September and culminates in a poetry reading on Sunday, September 17 at the Preserve. To read more about Art on the Trails, click here.
