Seeking balance in the natural world

All In Together III(watercolor and mixed media on paper), by Thompson, Conn.-based artist Susan Swinand in her show “Nature Imagined,’’ at the Worcester Art Museum through Feb. 7

The museum says: “Swinand has a fondness for the natural world and a desire to find the balance between opposing natural forces. ‘Nature Imaginedexplores her creative process, which involves letting her materials take on their own form and tapping into her subconscious to make meaning.’’

Thompson, in Connecticut’s “Forgotten Corner,’’ is remarkably rural. This marker in the woods shows where Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island meet.
