It’s hard not to think of Andy Goldsworthy when viewing the outdoor sculpture of Howard and Mary McCoy currently on display at the Adkins Arboretum. Not because they are similar in look or theme, but because all three artists create a special link between art and nature within a landscape as opposed to a man-made space like a gallery or outdoor sculpture gardens. These delightful (and sometimes well hidden) structures, along with their more individual indoor work, are now on view at Adkins for the summer.

The work of these artists, by using bits and pieces of nature picked up from where they have fallen, make the viewer aware of their beauty in a different way. I found myself, when given a tour though the Adkins woods to see their installations, looking at all my surroundings with more intensity and awareness.

Magic, Magic, Magic!
Joy, Joy, Joy.
Aren’t these two full of wonder?
