Topiary: Work in Progress:
Over the next several years, topiary artist Pearl Fryar of Bishopville will create and nurture living sculpture in these garden areas. Similar to Fryar's work "Heart Within a Heart," which stands on the grounds near the right corner of the museum, these plants will evolve according to the artist's design. We invite you to enjoy the development of this area -- watching these trees grow into works of art. This project was sponsored by the SC State Museum Foundation's 1997 annual fund and is part of the museum's "Still Worth Keeping: Communities, Preservation and Self-Taught Artists" project. To see more of Fryar's fascinating work, visit his topiary garden in Bishopville. |
