Dr. Susan Gerofsky joined us today. She told us about the Earthand Gleaners Society and how they make art from materials gathered from the environment. I was particularly interested in her account of artists using English ivy to make ephemeral art. I like ivy, and since it is intrusive, I can harvest as much as I want from the forest. FREE MATERIALS!
We gathered bulrush leaves and set them aside to dry. This was probably more hassle for Lorrie since we didn’t have to handle the logistics around storage.
