Only Connect will be the second installation in the gallery’s cooler space for Madison artist, Richard Jones. Viewed from a distance the space will contain a large wooden structure that upon closer inspection contains openings that reveal charred wooden blocks resembling a city no longer inhabited. Glass clouds illuminate the construction from above, and surrounding it are framed drawings, maps, and other materials related to the natural world. It is up to the viewer to contemplate the connections that exist between these objects and relate them to their own experiences of the world.
