CORNISH — Saint-Gaudens Memorial is planning to present ‘Natural Forces: Three Sculptors Respond” from June 2 through Oct. 21 at the Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site.
It will feature the work of three artists — Fabienne Lasserre, Rosalyn Driscoll and Clive Moloney -— and spotlight outdoor sculptures they have created for the grounds of the historic site at 139 Saint-Gaudens Road.
A conversation with the artists and the opening reception is scheduled June 2 at 4:30 p.m. at the site. The reception is open to the public.
In creating the site-specific artworks, each artist has responded to the natural environment of the park — its fields, woods and rolling topography.
The sculptures are intended also to change due to variations in weather and natural forces such as rain and wind. Over the duration of the 2018 summer season the artists anticipate organic transformations in the appearance of their objects.
During the months of May and June, the entrance road to the National Historic Site will be closed for construction on weekdays. A signed detour route for accessing the park is in place. Directions can also be found at www.nps.gov/saga/planyourvisit/conditions.htm. The entrance road will reopen to all traffic in late June.
