Echo Trail | Laura Ahola-Young
Silverwood Park presents Echo Trail which reflects Young’s investigation of Critical Plant Theory, a new inquiry in the humanities that examines the human/plant relationship.
Event Details
Her paintings celebrate plants found in her homeland, the Boundary Waters of Minnesota, and look closer at algae, the study of photosynthesis, microscopic details, and the role of oxygen and carbon in climate change. This exhibition asks viewers to consider their own relationship with plants.
