🔷 ARTIST HIGHLIGHT! 🔷
Vida Pavesich
“Earthbound” refers to Bruno Latour’s claim that humans are ineluctably bound to the earth--that the earth sets the final limits on what we may do, realistically. The tryptic refers to three futures and to ways of
being on the earth, which are happening simultaneously: drought, flood, and
regeneration. The other work leans on imagery from gardening and composting as a metaphor for regeneration.

Vida will be showing her work at Ford Street Studios, 2934 Ford Street, studio 24
May 31 + June 1 and June 7 + 8, 11 – 5 pm

More than 40 artists will be showing their work throughout the Jingletown neighborhood during our annual Open Studios! Be sure to visit everyone!

Join us for two weekends of Art and Inspiration!
