The Jamaican-born artist Ebony G. Patterson’s installation “… things come to thrive … in the shedding … in the molting …,” at the New York Botanical Garden, in the Bronx (through Oct. 22), is the result of a four-year residency. Dotting the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory and its lawn are glittering black-foam vultures and glass sculptures of feet and plants, just some of the pieces with which Patterson probes the garden’s surface. “How do I get people to look beneath the landscape?” she asks. “There’s a secret that’s being concealed.”
