Fiber Sculpture Exhibit


Through the end of August, the Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Walnut Hills features the “Invasive Plant Sculpture Garden,” an outdoor art installation created by students in Rachel Linnemann’s fiber sculpture course at the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. Drawing inspiration from the Stowe House’s history, architecture, and plant life, the students have reimagined invasive plant species once admired by Harriet Beecher Stowe as striking fiber sculptures. Set within a landscape now being restored with native species, as well as in the House's rotating indoor exhibit space, the show invites visitors to reflect on the ways plants—both chosen and removed—shape our environment and our histories. Developed in partnership with Cincinnati Parks and the Stowe Garden Project, the project shows how art, history, and environmental stewardship can come together to transform public space.
