Greg Kucera Gallery is pleased to announce our second solo exhibition of work by Seattle artist Cris Bruch. In Garden Variety, the artist explores the diverse forms he finds in the gardens of his Vashon Island home. Pooled water, crossed tree branches, and clumps of grass reveal nature’s ability to create an endless array of patterns.
“Garden variety means common, unexceptional, ordinary. Yet I have been continually surprised by the variousness of forms and habits and ways of growth in our gardens. Plants make extraordinary changes as they develop from seeds through maturity to making seeds to dying. The phases of growth seem like a display of unlimited formal invention. The range and combinations of colors are often beyond adequate description. The vigor and mystery are amazing. Astonishingly, it is all seemingly effortless, dependent only on sun and water and soil. Variety in the garden is infinite and a source of wonder.”
