Exhibit: Terra Familiar
Friday, May 7, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Event Navigation
Terra Familiar is a collaborative exhibition between myself (Zachary Collopy), a vernal pool, and its surrounding ecosystem. For a full year I’ve had the privilege of visiting this strange patch of semi-developed land. There, I have witnessed an eye-opening array of seasonal phenomena and transformations undertaken by our non-human neighbors.
The pool has been an ideal guide through these dynamic changes. Given time and attention the pool revealed itself as a frog womb, an old scar inflicted via bulldozer, a mirror for the moon, and at times just an empty ditch. This body of water embodies the surrounding landscape’s journey through birth, death, and rebirth.
A replica of the pool rests at the center of this exhibition surrounded by works of art. Each piece celebrates a transient flourish of life, an elevation of humble materials, or an experience of everyday divinity. The viewer is invited to revel in the mystery and the familiarity pouring forth from the pool.
Friday May 7th 5:00pm to 9:00pm
