A Clark educator leads a close examination and in-depth discussion around the outdoor sculpture Gathering My Thoughts by British artist Laura Ellen Bacon. Using willow branches that are tied, looped, and woven together, Bacon's process evokes basket-weaving and the nest-building of birds. Through guided conversation and reflection, participants consider how the artist's work is in active dialogue with the Clark's natural environment.

Requires a moderate hike on uneven and occasionally steep terrain. Held rain or shine; extreme weather cancels the event.
