Renewal: Sculptures by Tamara Kostianovsky

Repurposing fabrics to build textile sculptures of tree stumps and tropical birds with flora, Tamara Kostianovsky’s works weave together a narrative about loss and the power of hope. 

Feb. 26 – June 18, 2023

Freyer – Newman Center

Kostianovsky’s sculptures draw on inspiration from her childhood home in Argentina to reveal historical and contemporary challenges confronting South American and Caribbean landscapes. Renewal envisions a utopian future for people and wild places—restored beyond the exploitations of the past.
