they are endless! Using cardboard,

The exhibition Figuring the Floral features
artists who employ fl owers to explore
representations of identity—constructing
narratives on race, ethnicity,
class, gender, sexual orientation, and
aging. The exhibition includes paintings,
collages, drawings, sculptures
and an outdoor installation. In the
Sunroom, Kate Bae’s immersive installation
consists of fl owers created from
layers of acrylic paint. They drape
from the ceiling into a wishing well.
The landscape evokes the ecosystem of
Mount Halla on South Korea’s Jeju Island,
a holy symbol of the unifi cation
of South Korea and North Korea. In the
Sun Porch, Riad Miah creates a multipart
installation of double-sided, oil
and acrylic, rectangular paintings on
Dura-Lar. He traces light throughout
the calendar year to portray a sense
of time, with each piece representing a
single month. Free with admission to
the grounds. Glyndor Gallery, 2 p.m.
