A Clark educator leads a close examination and in-depth discussion around the outdoor sculpture the End by American artist Hugh Hayden. The artist, best known for his works in salvaged wood with protruding, preserved natural branches, transforms local hemlock trees into a massive upside-down ribcage, a form that suggests the remnant of some giant's life. Through guided conversation and reflection, participants consider how Hayden's work is in active dialogue with the Clark's natural environment.
