Regardé Aqua continues Rhonda Stevens’ ongoing artistic exploration into the primal elements of Earth, paying homage to water and the humbling immensity of nature. Stevens has taken inspiration from sacred spaces and organic forms in nature to create a contemplative installation. The artist’s rugged, boulder-formed cairn protects a precious, peaceful spring of water, highlighting the contrasting intersections and properties of renewal. Viewers will be drawn further into the work with activated reflections.
