Hidden from the outside world by green foliage, Ann Weaver Norton’s secret gardens reveal her monumental sculptures. These silent, mysterious forms, built over a period of 15 years, are often experienced as surprises amid the dense, jungle-like vegetation—just as she intended. They may resonate with reference to art of the past, to far-distant lands, but they are modern and timeless: unique to this artist’s vision. It is a rare gift to experience the union of this mysterious and powerful art and the naturalness of the landscape.
