ARTS Southeast is pleased to present "Cloak," an installation by Blanche Nettles Powers on display in the Drive Thru Art Box at Green Truck Pub from January 10th – April 8th, 2026.* * * * * * *
About the Project: "Cloak" is an installation that hides the Drive Thru Art Box beneath densely draped Spanish moss, fully obscuring its form. Inside, a vintage wooden rack holds a small collection of rocks, unknown to the viewer. The work explores themes of concealment and preservation, while also referencing the ways nature reclaims built space.
