| God's Pod. Molly Gibbons |
New Jersey collegiate
artists have been invited to construct and decipher the number 90 for
an outdoor sculpture exhibition titled Interpretations of 90. The exhibition
celebrates the Morris Museum’s nine decades of commitment to
the New Jersey art community.
Each artist may interpret 90 in any way they choose, from abstract
to realistic. Molly Gibbons, Fine Arts major at Fairleigh Dickinson
University, created a clay seed-like pod with 90 separate openings
representing each year the museum has changed and developed. Michael
Wolf, graduate student from William Paterson University, interprets
90 by casting nine sets of human hands and calling it 18 Hands
/ 90 Digits. Wolf states “the symbolic importance of hands is
that the museum’s collection is largely made of products that
have come from human hands and it has taken the collaborative effort
of many diverse groups to make the museum a success.” Trotting
Strong Through 90 Years is a concept devised by Gail Thompson from
the County College of Morris. She plans to create an abstract horse
which when viewed from a distance would appear as the numbers 9 and
0.
