Open to all ages
Artists of all ages are invited to make their own collection of botanical rubbings inspired by Biennial artist, Sarah M. Rodriguez.
Sarah M. Rodriguez collects natural objects, casts them in aluminum using sand as a mold, and then welds those casts together as sculpture. She often begins with materials that suggest temporality, like a seed pod that could grow over time. The artist also works as an animal trainer, and her abstract compositional choices are partly inspired by patterns of non-human behavior.
