For some, this need becomes a drive to transform their personal surroundings into multifaceted works of art. For more than thirty-five years, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, has been dedicated to the preservation of these environments, twenty-two of which are presented in detail for the first time in Sublime Spaces & Visionary Worlds. This colorful and inspiring book explores the work of these vernacular artists whose locales, personal histories, and reasons for art making vary widely, but who all share a powerful connection to the home as art. Featured projects range from environments that remain intact, such as Sam Rodia’s Watts Towers in California, to sites that have been dismantled over the years, such as Emery Blangdon’s elaborate Healing Machine made of copper, aluminum, tinfoil, magnets, ribbons, farm machinery parts, painted boards, light bulbs, beads, minerals, coffee can lids, and more.
From the « Original Rhinestone Cowboy » Loy Bowlin’s wall-to-wall glitter-and-foil living room to the concrete bestiary of Carl Peterson and the Lake Cottage Environment of Mary Nohl, Sublime Spaces & Visionary Worlds describes each artist and his or her lived-in work of art in detail through a wealth of visuals and text. Looking at these spectacular
spaces, sculptures, and paintings reminds us that our aesthetic choices tell the world not just what we like but who we are.
