Three Landscapes: Pruned, Tangled & Wild
March 28 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Three landscapes and what they teach us about our interactions with the natural world.
This presentation of photographs, sketches and drawings created by Architect, Howard Rideout will reveal three very personal landscapes that he has nurtured for decades. The first is a city garden pruned to perfection, the second is a large tangled garden created for his parents which has reverted into a semi-natural state and the third is a large wilderness preserve Howard has been imagining since he was a child and which has only recently come into fruition. All three teach us about the different ways we engage the natural world, reminding us that we are renewed and inspired by these interactions.
Thursday, March 28, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
