Dawnice Kerchaert - Native Ground

For the past twelve years nature has become the subject of her art. The imagery and tactile qualities from the natural environment were the inspiration for creating cast bronze and aluminum sculptures. In her travels she collects materials and documents natural sites, such as the sacred mounds of Native Americans in Mississippi, the petroglyphs in Valley of Fire state park in Nevada, the extreme vastness and sparkle of the Great Salt Lake desert, the rich woodlands of Georgia, the beauty of northern Michigan and others all become part of the work. She intends to bring attention to our human need to experience nature on any level. Or at least introduce something of nature into someone’s life. Artist Reception will take place on March 11th from 6pm-10pm.
