An Artful Visit: deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum

by Kerry Hawkins of Kerry Hawkins Photography

My friend and fellow Boston Handmade member, Lynne Parella and her two daughters met me at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA. We decided to explore the sculpture park and surrounding trails. They are many surprises in the Park and many sculptures to discover. It was a perfect day to be out in nature and see large scale sculptures.

A nice treat was the new program, Play in the Park. It is a program where children can make art outside near one of the sculptures. The Museum provides the materials and the children, the imagination. Lynne's girls had fun creating different works. The program this week was placed near a new sculpture that was huge and looked like a continuous ribbon made of metal. It is a hit with children and adults.
