Quotes
A year ago, Licata became the fourth member of a group of garden bloggers with an attitude. Garden Rant ...is one of my favorites: A blend of gossip, news, crusade and, yes, raw rant, it blows the cobwebs out of gardening's mustier corners.

Christy
Rupp: The Landscape Within
1999
Site-specific installation and publication.

Rupp: The Landscape Within was a site-specific installation for
the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University with sculptor Christy
Rupp. For years, Rupp has been making sculptural objects that, with
considerable wit and ingenuity, address the ongoing relationship between
humans and the natural environment. Recently, she has turned to the
microscopic world, creating a series of steel/paper sculptures that
take the form of viruses, bacteria, microbes, and chemical compounds.
These sculptures were installed in the Castellani Museum's Main Exhibition
Hall, fully covering the 20 by 60 feet back wall (see below). Viewers
were provided with handouts that allowed them to match the colorful
sculptures with the virus, bacteria, or chemical compound they depicted.
The show was accompanied by a brochure with an essay by Chris Kraus.
