Driving through Bennington, VT during fall foliage season—on our way to the family weekend at my son’s college—we took a wrong turn and discovered the Bennington Center for the Arts. With just a half hour to kill, we never did make it inside to see the exhibits. That’s OK, we’ll look forward to stopping in next time we’re in Vermont. This time the main attraction was a grouping of unusual wind sculptures at the entrance of the building.
Described by the Bennington Art Center as a “Wind Forest,” these captivating objects interact with each other as they react to the movement of the wind. They’re the work of Utah-based sculptor Lyman Whitaker who’s know for organic themes. Click here to see a video of the sculptures in action as well as a price list.
