Fascinated with botany and science, Von Bruenchenhein wrote extensively on his own metaphysical theories of biological and cosmological origins along with reams of poetry on nature, love, war, politics, and imaginary travels through time and space. Eugene Von Bruenchenhein: From the Wand of the Genii will focus on the dominant stimuli of nature and architecture, of growth patterns and imaginative structures. Referencing his artistic process, this exhibition will show his growth as he moved freely across mediums; from photography, painting, ceramic, bone, and cement sculpture. The exhibition includes works from various periods, organized to reflect the evolution of motifs and ideas, rather than presented chronologically or by specific media.
