More Description Natural Wonders spotlights works by Maya Lin, Roxy Paine, Diana Thater, Dustin Yellin, and others, that probe the porous border between the natural and artificial realms - between the wild and cultivated. This timely and relevant exhibition at the Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, PA, highlights nature's splendour while at the same time hinting at its more disquieting aspects. Through an engaging mix of installations, video, dioramas, photography, and sculpture, the works create an experience of the neo-sublime, mixing the beautiful and the unsettling to produce awe in the beholder. Ultimately this assemblage encourages us to be more attentive to our natural surroundings, in both their benign and baneful aspects.
