WANDERING THROUGH TREES
Opening Sunday, September 6 | 1–3 pm
Group exhibit curated by Doug Pope & Sue LeBlanc
Presented by the Robert Pope Foundation

Wandering through Trees is an exploration of trees, highlighting their great variety, patterns of growth, adaptability and usefulness to people and animals. This art exhibition has a biological emphasis, treated in documentary.-style photos and in imaginative sculptures. Many of our trees are common, yet each species is unique in its design and special features. ​

This exhibition is a spin-off of a larger show that toured art galleries in Chester and Annapolis Royal and the Ross Farm Museum. The present iteration features a sampling of Doug Pope’s photos of trees, ceramic sculptures by Deborah Kuzyk and Sue LeBlanc, as well as fabric works by Elise Campbell. The photos are information based. The ceramic and fabric sculptures are fun and fantastical, stretching beyond the theme of trees to include animals and fungi, the partners and inhabitants of forests. The forest, as a whole, is a symbol of hope, health and coexistence.​

Hope to see you at the opening! Free admission, refreshments provided.
