Hidden Botanical Universe at the San Francisco Street Tree Nursery

San Francisco Street Tree Nursery announces the world premiere exhibition of Hidden Botanical Universe. This marks the first art opening to take place at the exciting new tree nursery site for the city.

Sarah Chase has spent the past two years creating over one thousand pieces composed entirely of botanicals gathered in nature–moss, flowers, mushrooms, and plants–together revealing a secret hidden universe of dancers, animals, birds, and landscapes.

Revealing her background as a dance artist, Hidden Botanical Universe presents Chase’s botanicals in motion, an endless choreography of nature.
