Participants will select objects of “awe” from the indoor/outdoor garden installation Monument to Sharing and record visual and verbal evidence in handmade journals. Various 2D media will be available to both “use what you’ve got” and/or explore a new media to engage interest and access a wide range of ability levels. A wine reception will follow the presentation.
