"Woods and fields are a table always spread." --Henry David Thoreau
The Art of Engagement
Alice Fox manages a plot of land that provides her with food for her body, materials for her art, and sustenance for her spirit. Sustainability underpins all of her work. She looks closely at everything she finds on this plot of land, engaging with it, finding ways to utilize it or at the very least to appreciate it. By noticing the detail in everything she discerns the possibilities it offers. This personal engagement with her surroundings and the art she creates from them are a celebration of the natural world in which she finds herself.
BE THE CHANGE
Take a leisurely walk in your community, noticing details that you may have missed. Are there things being discarded that have potential for use if you see them with new eyes?
