CATCH UP ON CURATE 🐂 Looming thunderstorms today remind us of Walker Babington's exhibit at the @hermitagemuseum last year, "Burden of the Beast." The bison is a resilient animal who often weather any storms, including near extinction. Babington pulls inspiration from these and other environmental factors for his monumental dreamscapes created from storm ravaged wood and reclaimed metal. His folk-symbolist sculptures confront challenging subjects like climate change and AI with wit, nostalgia, and grit—inviting us to face the storm head-on and consider how we shape the future.
