After a number of years, Gray Matter Series is back with our next installation: Mother Trees, asking the question: Can a work of art inspire a dinner party which inspires even more works of art?
Mother trees are the trees in the forest who share their wisdom and guidance with other trees through the mycorrhizal network below ground, speaking through the connections made through the fungi’s relationship to the trees’ root systems.
We are each mother trees. We share our experiences through our creative expressions; painting, cooking for one another, telling stories, sharing music, and more. Our presence in our communities has more impact than we may first realize, but when we connect and share of our deepest selves, everyone benefits.
Join us at the Arthouse Gallery, a space for collaborative exploration and the studio of Ms. Anna Lee and learn more about the creative endeavors taking place. Immerse yourself in the Mother Trees exhibit and connect with the collaborators.
Saturday and Sunday, October 1+2 2022 as part of the FMVA Studio Crawl at 517 6th Street South in Moorhead, MN
