Join us for the Closing of ‘Cracked Earth-Rising Blue,' an installation by artist Helen Eberhardie Dunn. Due to natural environmental processes, evaporation and erosion, the installation will have transformed and changed. Come witness the transformations since it was first installed on March 3rd and view the final erosion event. Come take home sprouts, grown during the course of installation and shop Helen´s ceramic and porcelain pieces!

Arrive a little early in order to participate in the Creation of a Collaborative Art Project, March 31st, 4:45 PM!
Hosted by artist Darya Warner/Suzanne Anderson. Their project, “HydroEcologies, Unseen,”explores the hidden narrative of drought in Colorado via sculptural work that combines Art+ Science+ Community and collaborative practice.
“Join us on a geolocation walk to discuss our relationships with water. Our walk will be recorded via GPS tracking and laser etched into sculptures. It does not have to be a designated walk but more of a stroll or exploration ( imagine we are creating a giant drawing).”
The artist ( Darya Warner ) gives a brief 20 min talk describing the project and her practice.The audience is invited to participate in the walk in the area to discuss their relationship to water.The Walk is recorded via the GPS trail app and laser etched to each sculpture specifically made to the location of the well.

Darya works at the intersection of art and science by bridging the creative process and growth/connections with human and non-human actors through the prism of Climate Change. By addressing site-specific history, ecology, and local systems of communication Darya aims to mine a new form of hybrid space for “intermatter” interaction with an emphasis on the interconnectivity of intelligence across species. Their research explores the Biophilia Hypothesis, also known as “the love of all living things,” as a crucial factor in reconnecting humans and nature via interactive installations, visual displays, photography, sound, time-based media, and bioart in the new form of hybrid matter based on care. They address issues of environmental impact among artists and connect creative processes to earth-conscious practices….
