Nail Art

Nail art - not as in "manicure," but as in 12 inch spikes - bent, welded, hammered, and displayed as an exhibit in a museum.



John Bisbee's artwork is on display at the Shelburne Museum in Vermont until May 26, 2014. We've had the opportunity to see this exhibit - New Blooms - three times. Fascinating!

The hardness of nails is fashioned into the delicacy of flowers.






Walking along near the panels, with the lighting directed on the art, one gets the sense of the art being in motion.

Here are some museum-goers getting a closer look.





 
There are also some

free standing exhibits.






J Bisbee, the artist, entertained at the opening reception.


At the reception, everyone enjoyed tasty treats provided by Shelburne Museum.


We enjoy the many changing exhibits at the Shelburne Museum year-round.
