Return to Grounds for Sculpture

Two evenings ago we went to Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, NJ to see Klip Collective's Night Forms exhibit where the sculptures are transformed by lights and electronic music. I've often said Grounds for Sculpture is stunning in all seasons. I love seeing the trees bud in Spring, the bright sunshine in Summer, and the magnificent array of colors in Fall, but there is nothing like seeing everything covered in a fresh blanket of snow.

When we left the grounds on Saturday night Don felt the snow didn't add anything to the sculptures at night, but agreed they are transformed during the day. Being members means we can stop by for free anytime.

I thought it would be fun to share pictures of how they look in the day vs. how they look at night. We spent more time enjoying them at night with the music and the 4-5 minute changing light shows. The same sculptures were boring during the day. Others, though, were enhanced. When I can identify the artwork, I've included a link to their work on the Grounds for Sculpture website. In some cases, I cannot figure out the name. Apologies to the artists.
