Re-Imagined: Sculpture by Wendy Klemperer
An exhibit curated by June LaCombe
Saturday, July 11 – Spring, 2010

Wendy Klemperer uses recycled industrial salvage to construct expressive gestural sketches in steel. If you’ve been to Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in the past couple of years,  you’ve undoubtedly spotted her work – two deer and two wolves along our entry drive, along with pieces in our annual sculpture shows curated by June LaCombe.

In ‘Re-Imagined,’ the solo exhibit of Wendy’s work at the Gardens, you’ll be enthralled and surprised by a veritable wildlife park along trails and amid gardens. The show opened on July 11 and was to continue into the fall. However, it’s been held over so visitors can enjoy it into the spring of 2010.

‘Re-Imagined’ features a number of extirpated wildlife species, including wolves, elk, lynx, and mountain lions. Sited beside woodland trails, ponds, and rocky outcrops at the Gardens, these life-size sculptures re-imagine these species on the Maine landscape. More-prolific Maine mammals such as deer and fox are also on view in the Gardens. This exhibit is curated by June LaCombe of June LaCombe SCULPTURE.

The exhibit is on view during regular Gardens hours: 9:00-5:00 daily. The work is for sale, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens.
