Ground/work 2025: A Close Look

A Clark educator leads a close examination and in-depth discussion around the outdoor sculpture "Gathering My Thoughts" by British artist Laura Ellen Bacon. Using willow branches that are tied, looped, and woven together, Bacon's process evokes basket-weaving and the nest-building of birds. Through guided conversation and reflection, participants consider how the artist's work is in active dialogue with the Clark's natural environment.
