The Savannah Art Association is honored to welcome Jeff Garland as the guest curator for Oddly Comforting.
Curator’s Statement:
Jeff P. Garland is Associate Dean and Professor in the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art at Georgia Southern University. An accomplished sculptor, educator, and academic leader, he brings more than thirty years of experience in higher education, with expertise in administrative leadership, curricular innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and faculty development. Throughout his career, he has championed student success, creative inquiry, and the advancement of the arts through strategic leadership and authentic pedagogy.
Garland's artistic practice explores the intersection of nature and industry, transforming single sheets of powder-coated expanded metal into intricate sculptures inspired by the flora and fauna of the American landscape. Drawing influence from the Midwest's tallgrass prairies and the rich ecosystems of coastal Georgia, his work celebrates the resilience, beauty, and interconnectedness of the natural world while emphasizing sustainability and transformation. His sculptures invite viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between humanity and nature, offering both a meditation on environmental stewardship and a celebration of life's enduring capacity for renewal.
