This month, the Center for the Arts will host “Ground Cover,” an exhibition of sculpture and installations by Sara Good. The show presents a series of sculptural works that collectively speak of the artist’s long-standing connection to ground space and employ a variety of materials to include earth, earthen materials and manmade articles gathered from paved spaces. The pieces each suggest a kind of “covering” with relation to the ground plane. Numerous experiences and literary sources were cited as influences, including Thoreau’s last manuscript, The Dispersion of Seeds.
Sara Good received both her Bachelor of Fine Art and Master of Fine Art degrees from the University of Memphis, 1990 and 1994 respectively. She has carried out various roles, to include working as an artist in the city schools and teaching as an adjunct professor at the university level. Currently, she works independently as a professional artist. Sara’s work is primarily sculpture and sculptural installation, from studio works and collaborative projects to interior and exterior installations, both commissioned and noncommissioned.
An opening reception will be held Tuesday, Aug. 7, from 5–7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. The Center for the Arts is located at 110 W. College St., Murfreesboro. For more information, call (615) 904-2787 or e-mail Claire Coleman at claireelizabethcoleman13@gmail.com.
