Patterns in Nature: LightForm by HYBYCOZO

I’ve already shared a look at Patterns in Nature: The Art of HYBYCOZO, the summer exhibit at the Missouri Botanical Garden, by day…now it’s time for a look at LightForm, the nighttime presentation!

First, my favorite sculpture…I loved how colorful it was in the daylight, but it’s even more stunning lit up at night!

Not all of the displays are that colorful, but there is one that changes colors:

My second favorite of the displays has colorful inserts, and makes quite a show on the ground, too!

This one is super reflective during the day, but at night, you lose sight of the mirror for all the lights:

It’s fascinating how pronounced the negative space in each sculpture is as the sun goes down!

I love looking at this one from different angles:

This one also looks cool from different perspectives:

Some of the displays are meant to be spun…this isn’t one of them, but it was already moving when we walked by, so I took a video because it looked really cool!

These look light something straight out of Tolkien, which is appropriate because they line the walkway in the English Woodland Garden:

The displays on the Central Axis never disappoint!

This is a really cool exhibit, and I love how different it is in the light and the dark…definitely one of my favorite summer displays the Missouri Botanical Garden has hosted!

Patterns in Nature: The Art of HYBYCOZO

On Friday, a new art installation opened at the Missouri Botanical Garden, and I am super excited about it!

Patterns in Nature: The Art of HYBYCOZO, explores the connection between art, science, and nature. The large, geometric sculptures by artists Serge Beaulieu and Yelena Filipchuk have beautiful, unique designs that let sunlight filter through during the day to create shadows, and are lit from within at night for a completely different experience. Ironically, it was cloudy on opening day, so I simply enjoyed the sculptures on their own without the light and shadow interplay, and they were lovely! I especially like how some of the pieces are colorful, and others are reflective, but they all have unique shapes and patterns!

I will definitely be going back on a sunny day to enjoy this project, but what I’m really looking forward to is seeing them lit up at night!
