The Ely Center of Contemporary Art is pleased to present Andree Brown: Leaves of Durham. There will be a reception from 1 pm to 5 pm on Sunday, November 12. This event is free and open to the public. 

Brown’s sculptures are organic, abstract, and influenced by forms she finds outside. In her latest series of work, Leaves of Durham, Brown is playful with form and scale, taking liberties with both. Brown’s inspiration came from leaves she foraged in the woods of Durham, CT and has defined their character and given them voice. “There is a direct connection between trees and humans. Without trees humans could not survive and without humans, trees could not live.” Brown uses her sculptures as a means to connect with the natural world and learn how trees communicate with each other and us.
