| “Beside a mountain
stream,” a quilt with hand-dyed fabrics and decorative yarns and
threads, by Libby Ankarberg, and “Burning history,” an oil painting
by Jim Denney, are two of the works in the exhibit “Seeing the Forest.” |
Oil
paintings of a timber faller dropping a gigantic Douglas-fir, of
a team of horses dragging a log through the misty woods. A rich
quilt of hand-dyed fabrics depicting a mountain stream. A raku wall
sculpture of two salmon, tails intertwined. These are a few of the
49 works in the traveling exhibit, "Seeing the Forest: Art
about Forests and Forestry, 2000." Sponsored by the OSU Extension
Forestry progrm, the exhibit has been touring Oregon since July,
reaching over 50,000 people.
Its last stop was an Extension-sponsored
conference on family-owned forest lands, held at OSU in February.
All the art is for sale; the brochure accompanying the exhibit lists
prices and artists’ names and addresses. |
