The Impact of Air
Naturalist and Director of Community Science Sarah Gladu will explore how air – and the things in it, including light, moisture, and pollution – impact the landscape around us. The shapes of trees, the ways pollen is transferred from flower to flower, and the patterns clouds make in the sky, are all impacted by air and its various attributes. Sarah will share some observations about the reciprocity between air and mountains, owl feathers and flower anthers, among other things. Join us to explore these fascinating topics that connect directly to the artwork in our “Song of the Wild” exhibit.
A reception with wine and hors d’oeuvres will follow.
