Steve Harrold: Teaming with Nature from April 2 – July 10, 2011
A whimsical, mixed-media exhibition with 3 dimensional works and paintings by artist Steve Harrold – exploring the agricultural partnership between humans & nature – creating artistic beauty and life.
IMA exhibited one of Harrold’s works in its juried competition last summer, “Green: on the edge.” His 3-dimensional work, entitled “Goats & Flowers” proved to be one of the most popular and talked about pieces in the show. His witty and talented use of materials, often found objects, delight in a unique and humorous way. You won’t want to miss this ingenious show!
My work has developed into a style of dimensional sculptures of fields, gardens, and pastures with animals and tractors. What motivates me is to look for glimpses of wonder and ‘simplexity’ in nature’s colors and designs- from small flowers and leaves to large fields & forests. The greatest compliment I can receive is when people of all ages smile when they see my work. –Steve Harrold
