Thank you to Tony Palms and Creative Pinellas for highlighting ‘Secret Garden’ in the review ‘Exploring All Five Skyway Museums’ (link here).
The room-size installation would be Cynthia Mason’s Secret Garden in the Museum of Fine Arts, St Petersburg (MFA). Like the 1911 book by Frances Hodgson Burnett of the same title, long lost stories are hidden in the walls.
The didactic panel described it as “Reminiscent of the ruins of Pompeii, Mason shows us the potential for catastrophe, while also highlighting the beauty of our natural world.”
