Inspired by the novella, “Night in the Garden of Love”, by Dr. Yusef Abdul Lateef, a Detroit native, and created during “Angles of Incidence” summer class taught by these artists at Cranbrook during the artists summer residency. The students created and designed characters, inspired by the novella, into the collaborative work. Using the Schinkel’s original mixed-media artist process integrating digital and hands on work onto 2D metal, the students engaged in and learned sculptural techniques on metal.

The nine panel artwork debuted at the Cranbrook Greek Theatre outdoors before and after “Something Else in the Garden” performed by the Autophysiopsychic Millennium, a collective exploring the work of Dr. Yusef Abdul Lateef.
