Solo Exhibition by Mark Weller at the UW-Madison Arboretum Now Through February 27th
I’m deeply honored to present my solo exhibition “Clouds: Never in Reruns, Water in Its Most Poetic Form” at the Steinhauer Trust Art Gallery at the UW–Madison Arboretum Visitor Center—a place profoundly shaped by the legacy of Aldo Leopold, who once served as research director here. Leopold’s land ethic and reverence for water, climate, and interconnected ecosystems resonate powerfully with my own work, which looks skyward to consider water in motion, time, and climate change. His book, A Sand County Almanac still resonates in today’s modern world. To exhibit at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Arboretum, where stewardship, science, and care for the earth are so deeply rooted, feels both humbling and meaningful—a reminder that art, like conservation, can invite reflection, responsibility, and wonder. Gratitude to Visitor Center Manager Brad Freihoefer for his helpfulness in staging the exhibition. It is now on view and will continue through February 27.
