If the phrase “April showers bring May flowers” has any cred, it might ring true with a new installation
at Boston Sculptors Gallery. Opening April 23, Beth Galston’s “LUMINOUS GARDEN (AERIAL)” is a glowing
plant-like installation of several golden LED flower buds that spring from a nest of electrical wires
on the ground. And, yes, you can walk through this garden, which resembles a sea of tangled roots
with cast-resin acorn caps. As opposed to being rooted in the ground, the works appear to float, as
if moving with the wind. … Galston’s installation of light-powered petals, which is part of the
2009 Cyberarts Festival, is dedicated to the memory of her parents, both of whom have passed in
recent months.
