Description

In 2007 Jennifer Steinkamp embarked on
an extended series of flowering trees, titled Mike Kelley in tribute to the artist who was among her early
mentors. There are now 17 Mike Kelly projections
in this series, each one a variant on a single tree that passes through
seasonal cycles, going from bare to tender green, to autumnal incandescence,
and back to the barren boughs of winter. At the same time, the boughs gyrate in
a sinuous ballet, implying the larger earth cycles of wind, storm, and
change.
