A Trip to The Wexner Center

This piece is called Crystal Garden, created by Paula Hayes.

Media: stones, minerals, crystals, gems, some fabricated items; these items are in a hand-blown glass. 
Date: 2010
This was my favorite piece of Paula's collection shown at the Wexner Center. I enjoyed all of the "pretties" and things and how they were arranged in the glass. I wouldn't have known that she created the glass also, had I not read the descriptions of the work. 
Denotations: a piece of artwork that shows creativity and objects that the world created and that human created
Connotations: a display for others to learn and enjoy from; all things can be alive together; immobile objects can be beautiful 
Big Idea behind Paula's work: she likes to make her artwork alive, sometimes it is associated with her life events and history
