The photo below shows my art installation”Flower Power” at Yolo Arts in Woodland, CA, on April 6, 2020,and the photo below shows the artwork as installed on March 5, 2020.  This installation is meant to change over time with the handmade paper “guns” having seeds for wildflowers in the pulp and transforming the guns into flowers.  It’s great to see the power of Nature and signs of Spring and hope in these difficult times.  This artwork was installed just before we all were quarantined with the Coronavirus pandemic in California.  My outdoor installation for this exhibition of eco-artworks by selected WEAD members is part of an exhibition at the Barn Gallery, Yolo Arts, Woodland, CA, and will be on view indefinitely.  There are also links online to see the show virtually.  It is great to get the photos and thanks to Janice Purnell, Curator and Creative Director at Yolo Arts.  Here is the link to see the show online: https://yoloarts.org/online-galleries/

Hope you can come to the opening of this group exhibition in Woodland, CA, where I will have two installations featured:
One is an indoor site specific installation of my “California Delta Rivers” first created in 2013 and re-configured to make a wall drawing installation for this exhibition focused on the water resources in northern CA. The work is made with handmade paper and cotton threads and pulp is dyed with fiber reactive dyes. Here is a photo of California Delta Rivers as installed at the Barn Gallery in Woodland.



I also have an outdoor installation in this exhibition. My “Flower Power” installation consists of many handmade paper “guns” with seeds for wildflowers in the pulp that will transform the “guns” over time into living blooming wildflowers. This installation is place in a prepared raised bed just outside the Barn Gallery, and focuses on using nature as a partner and the regenerative power of nature. The handmade paper will dissolve as mulch to nourish the earth and the seeds sprout and grow into blooming wildflowers. Here is a photo of “Flower Power” when it was first installed outside the Barn Gallery in Woodland.



My works are part of the group exhibition Women Eco Artists Dialog: The Legacy of Jo Hanson, at Yolo Arts, the Barn Gallery 512 Gibson Rd., Woodland, CA. The exhibition will be on view through June 18, 2020 and features works about environmental issues by selected WEAD artists:  Jane Ingram Allen, Krista Anandakuttan, Angela Gonzalez, Maria Paz Gutierrez, Cynthia Jensen, Elizabeth Kenneday-Corathers, Judith Selby Lang, Isabella La Rocca, Linda MacDonald, Carol Newborg, Lisa Reindorf, Lorna Stevens, Michelle Waters, Melissa West, Tammy West, and Mary Bayard White.  See the Yolo Arts website at http://www.yoloarts.org for more information and gallery hours.
