Environmental Sculptures
Sculpture Installations
by Sherrill Hardy

---

In Environmental Sculpture, award-winning artist and educator Sherrill Hardy presents seven of her most innovative and environmentally-focused sculpture installations alongside deep discussions about these imaginative works of art, their inspiration and sources, their purpose, history, and importance in a world facing environmental crisis. Hardy uses these discussions to enhance viewers’ understanding of these sculptures, deepen their appreciation of art, and see art’s relevance to the natural surroundings that sustain us all. By growing such understanding among those viewing the art and learning more about the mind of the artist who created it, Hardy challenges readers to see the impact humans have had on the natural environment and helps them recognize the importance of changing the way we interact with our surroundings. Critics have raved about the authenticity and honesty of these works and have marveled at her persistence and dedication to her work and to the causes the work highlights. Mary Ann Anderson, writing in an article in Arts Alive cites “a willingness to go the extra distance” as a hallmark of Hardy's research in preparing her installations and says she exhibits a “drive to be responsible to the world around her and use her art as a way of voicing that vision of a better world for humanity.”
