exhibition · 2026-08-17

Garrison Art Center is presenting 'Phytophilia: The Love of Plants,' a group exhibition featuring works by artists Lawre Stone, Janis Stemmermann, and Katharine Dufault. The exhibition explores the vegetal world as subject, refuge, and inspiration, with each artist offering distinct perspectives on human and non-human relationships. Through landscape imagery, plant life, and trees, the works evoke a sentient, animate vegetal world that flourishes and communicates in a post-human existence. The artists reveal the deep vulnerability that emerges from human interactions with nature. Lawre Stone contributes paintings and works on paper that merge natural imagery with abstraction, creating otherworldly landscapes. The exhibition is on view at Garrison Art Center, located in Garrison, New York.
