Under A Restless Sky

In Under A Restless Sky, Boston-based artist Nathalie Miebach creates a visual wonderland out of paint, paper, wood, ropes, and other materials, to explore how various species—birds and humans—move and adapt due to environmental and climate changes. 

The installation includes layers of colorful shapes, real and imagined animals, and hybrid forms such as winged homes atop maps. It imaginatively tells the history of Arkansas’ major weather events; ones that have shaped the way people contemplate the weather. With a dynamic sense of circular movement that mimics both storm activity and the rebuilding process, Under A Restless Sky references the past, while probing questions about new future forms of shared habitat for humans and birds.

Visually stunning, the installation also functions as a multi-act musical score that will be collaboratively interpreted by a regional composer.

The gifts in this collection complent this unique installation.
