Featuring paintings and sculptures set within a blooming forest in the spring, the show responded to a need to work remotely from the gallery context under lockdown by seeking out a fantastical offsite landscape. As stated in the press release: “Maren’s works thrive in these environments, they were made for them. They’re cozy, right at home nestled into the leaves and moss.”**
