Bondsville Mill Arboretum

Bondsville Mill Park, located near Downingtown, PA was awarded Arboretum status in the fall of 2024. David Culp and an army of volunteers had turned a dilapidated space around the civil war era textile mill into a meadow, walking paths, and garden clearings. I jumped at the invitation to display some of my sculptures at the park. I loved the idea of them being flanked and backdropped by historic industry while surrounded by the beautiful earth tones of early fall. The intense morning light created some really breathtaking photos.
