Dewdrop Toadstool Hopscotch, a solo exhibition by Isabelle Adams, was presented by Garthim at an offsite location in Matthiessen State Park, Oglesby, Illinois in March.
With whimsical objects that resemble the icy frost and pebbles of their Illinois state park surrounds, the exhibition evokes relics from unknown rituals and the iconography of woodland paranormal encounters. A text by the artist to accompany the show adds to the playful and fantastical character of the works:
“Not mouse
Nor mudpie
Nor groveling snots
Can match my game of Dewdrop Hopscotch”.**
