It’s officially Earth Day and my friend Annie and fellow artist/standardized patient (a topic for a later time) went to the Falls today to be out in nature. After several cold and wet days we received one that’s a winner. In the spirit of collaboration we combed the riverbank and brought our finds together to create this Mother Earth image and child.
Here’s the finished result which is colorful if not disturbing! It was fun to make and includes various foams, plastics, driftwood, bark, grass to name a few of the found materials. We left the figures next to a driftwood structure (one of two we came across today) and it looks like home to me. Here are the before and after shots. Happy Earth Day!
