This show revisits the relationship between humans and nature at a time when perhaps reconnection is needed most. Seeking solace in our sacred spaces, many choose the majesty of the forest – warm, protective canopies, or towering strengths of possibilities reaching into the sky – home to hundreds of minute neighborhoods of their own, all trying to do the same thing we’re doing now – live.
How do you see your own relationship with nature and the forest? What aspects of forests or their natural ingredients inspire you? What do you focus on when you experience and respond to groupings of trees?

Wendy Wilson – I find comfort in the White Mountains in winter. Thinking about weather conditions, trail finding, staying warm, dry and fed keeps my left brain fully occupied. This frees my right brain to take in the experience of my surroundings to carry home to inform my art.
