Students Create Art Installations for Bulb Show

Art installations for this year’s Spring Bulb Show at the Botanic Garden of Smith College were created by Jamie Biagiarelli AC ’26J and Conguye (Ella) Wang ’28. Biagiarelli’s artwork, Gathering, “was informed by the rectangular panels of glass at Lyman Plant House.” Wang’s piece, Echo, uses strings and beads to explore how the past and present are intertwined. The prompt the students were asked to respond to in their proposals was inspired by the concurrently running exhibit, Younes Rahmoun: Here, Now, a yearlong multisite exhibit by one of Morocco’s leading contemporary artists.
