Andrea Bowers

With Weatherford’s paintings as a companion, Bowers produced a new grouping of her Chandeliers of Interconnectedness. Based on actual sycamore branches, Bowers has created 5 hanging sculptures made of welded, recycled steel with representations of leaves fabricated in steel rods, non-toxic neon and now recycled glass, a collaboration with Judson Studios, the oldest family-run stained glass company in America. Words wind down a branch in each chandelier using lines of poetry and prose by the playwright and radical feminist philosopher, Susan Griffin whose words have been moving us with her celebration of the survival of woman and nature since 1978.
