In a written statement, Miller said she wondered why an artist would paint, then slash, the cross of Christ. As she considered his motives over and over, it made her ask herself how often she desecrates or slashes Christ's cross. The idea for Art in Bloom is not new, said Deborah Borrowdale-Cox, curator of education. She brought the idea with her when she came to Lexington two years ago from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. Art in Bloom will be on display from noon to 5 p.m. today and Sunday.
Admission is free.
The museum is part of the Singletary Center for the Arts at the corner of Euclid Avenue and Rose Street on the UK campus. Jane Boswell, museum gallery coordinator, will give a slide presentation and talk about the symbolism of flowers in Greek mythology to Victorian times at 1 p.m. today. All rights reserved.
