Extended Collaboration #3

Students were asked to make something in collaboration that (ideally) combined visual material and language and install it in a site-specific location somewhere on campus. On our last day together, we all walked around and looked at, and interacted with, the things the students made. These photographs do not capture just how amazing each of these installations were, almost every single one inviting us to tangibly engage with the work, from ringing the bells attached to pine-cone weighted fishing line, to the poems tied into red thread and woven around a tree, to the "Station of the Trees" installation that asked us to decode sentences written in symbols. The students made amazing, enchanting work that reminded us to look more closely at the everyday wonders right under our noses.
