We are in the Trees showcases Bunny Bowen’s lifelong passion for trees, starting with the maple and dogwood forests of her childhood in the Shenandoah Valley. Since 1967, she has lived among our western forests, surrounded by aspen and juniper. This exhibition is inspired by her relationship with trees, presenting works in wood, fiber, painting and clay.
For almost 50 years, the CO 2 Bunny has exhaled has been inhaled by the junipers on their land in the shadow of Sandia Mountain, while she has inhaled the oxygen they exhale. Together they grew tissue: flesh and blood, needles and heartwood. The wood she is carving and sanding contains a bit of her own body. Their shared existence is not just a metaphor, but a physical reality. “I am in these trees, as they are in me, our bodies intertwined in a tangible bond.” The artists’ reception will be celebrated with fellowship and refreshments on Saturday, April 11, 1-3 pm. The First Sunday ARTScrawl on April 5 will include a discussion of the steps involved in creating one of her juniper and clay hangings, explaining how the clay piece is formed, bisqued and glazed, and how the rough juniper branches are sanded and shaped to complete the piece.
