On viewLabel TextDan Ostermiller’s subjects are animals-wild and domestic-captured in expressive poses that suggests hints of personality. The surface of the work is important to the artist, who has paid particular attention to the marks, folds, and textures that describe the bear’s form. After crossing the bridge near Cindy Spring, the Art Trail begins a moderate, but long, uphill slope that may not be suitable for all guests. Those with mobility issues may wish to turn around at this point and return to the museum’s south entrance.
Los sujetos de la obra de Dan Ostermiller son siempre animales —salvajes domésticos— capturados en poses expresivas que sugieren su personalidad. La superficie de la obra es importante para el artista, que presta particular atención a las marcas, los pliegues y las texturas que describen la forma del oso. Tras cruzar el puente cercano al manantial Cindy, el Sendero del arte emprende una pendiente moderada —aunque larga— colina arriba, que puede no ser apta para todos los visitantes. Llegados a este punto, puede que aquellas personas con problemas de movilidad quieran regresar hacia la entrada sur del museo.
