Four Season exhibition features Tobin's signature Steelroots and Walking Roots

Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens (CMBG) recently installed a solo exhibition of artist Steve Tobin’s Steelroots and bronze Walking Roots sculptures throughout the grounds as part of the Park’s “Roots: The Other Half of the Story” thematic show. Titled “Steve Tobin: Unearthed” the sculptures will be on view through spring of 2020. Tobin gave an artist lecture and signed copies of his recently published monograph, “Mind Over Matter” (Rizzoli International) on August 20, 2019. Tobin, often called a “visual philosopher” by art critics, has long explored the natural world in glass, clay, bronze, and steel. His oeuvre ranges from bronze castings of trees’ vast root systems to towering termite mounds cast on-site in West Africa, to waterfalls and rivers that spring from ceilings and snake rock formations made of millions of glass capillary tubes or slender steel rods.
