Under The Wide Sky We Gather
Elevate Art Menlo Park commissioned this intricate, colorful and energetic artwork by Bay Area artist Carrie Lederer in spring 2022.
It transports viewers across land and sky, illuminating a path to the deep, dark recesses of our universe. Her perspective—both micro and macro—conveys the bold and delicate forms that exist in the mysterious realms that surround us.
About The Artist
Carrie Lederer is a painter, sculptor and installation artist who exhibits her nature-inspired work across the United States. For Lederer, the garden is a metaphor for the universe. She uses paint, fabric, fur, flock, glitter, pompoms and more to construct images that are simultaneously ordered and in disarray, realistic and abstract. Lederer lives and works in Oakland, CA.
