Touching the Earth is a series of clay/earth installations that will be constructed in collaboration with Camden families, residents and artists.
Athena Steen and Josh Sarantitis will lead workshops on building with straw and plastering with clay mix to create three totemic sculptures representing the creative spirit of the people of Camden. Mini parklets made from Cedar and Black Locust, and planted with native plants and vegetables will create a safe environment for the totems to “live” near. Workshops in urban horticulture, public art design and fabrication will allow participation at all levels of the production and installation.
An opening ceremony will raise awareness of the location, and daily construction workshops will allow for maximum connection to community.
