INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF ART, Art Conservation Department, Indianapolis IN
The Indianapolis Museum of Art is the premier cultural resource for the state of Indiana and a major arts-based institution for the Midwest. Currently, the museum is building a new state-of-the-art scientific research laboratory in which to house its highly respected Art Conservation Department. Carol's Remembering Gratitude will become a permanent part of this science lab collection - per request of the Conservation Department.  

“The laboratory will be a high profile feature  for the museum with frequent visitors, including curators, donors, trustees, and the public. It will provide a captivating avenue for discussing artists’ materials, craftsmanship, the processes of material aging and how conservation intervenes, and the ways that science can enlighten us about our cultural patrimony – how an object was made, what materials were used by the artist, and how an object reacts with its surroundings.“- Dr. Gregory Dale Smith, Senior Conversation Scientist

Carol's deliberate and intricate patination process is of particular interest to the museum laboratory. It is hoped that Remembering Gratitude will make a significant contribution in IMA's Art Conservation Department's studies to help understand how to best display and preserve bronze works; and specifics on how conservation intervenes.

Possibilities, Carol's small bronze acorn, comfortably and beautifully fits into the palm of ones hand. This unlimited edition not only feels sensible for a piece this size, but more importantly continues to reflect one of the unique qualities of Carol's work: symbolism in the edition size. Possibilities are indeed "unlimited" and so it is with this edition size. A natural choice to be included in the 18th International Miniature Art Show in Nags Head, North Carolina, May 1 thru June 1, 2009.
