Slow Growing in the Time of Trees: Carving Workshop with Daniel Minter
- Saturday, March 29, 1:00-3:00 PM
- Lynden Sculpture Garden, 2145 W. Brown Deer Rd.
- Free and open to the public. Registration required.
Call & Response artist-in-residence Daniel Minter pays a visit to Lynden Sculpture Garden as part of Slow Growing in the Time of Trees, a C21 Collaboratory.
The Collaboratory brings together Lynden artist-in-residence Yevgeniya Kaganovich, her collaborators—Lisa Moline, Lane Hall, Kate Beutner and Jim Charles—and their guests to cultivate an interdisciplinary creative space that examines the durational nature of trees, mushrooms, and humans, and the symbiosis between trees and human and non-human partners.
Minter will revisit sites of importance from his two-year residency, IN THE HEALING LANGUAGE OF TREES: a natural act of transformation restructured for curing many ills. The walk-and-talk will be followed by a wood-carving workshop suitable for carvers of all levels.
