William Stranger: Second Growth Artist Talk

Please join us for artist/designer William Stranger's discussion about his current exhibition Second Growth. A second Growth forest is one that has re-grown after it has been heavily logged or clear-cut. The exhibition explores the "second life" of trees. Using salvaged materials as well as finely crafted furniture and hand carved objects, Stranger's installation invokes the life cycle of a tree. The artist strives to have as little impact on the environment as possible and gives discarded, neglected wood a new use, thus creating a new experience of the same material. Influenced by the simple structure of trees, his work exemplifies restraint, economy, harmony. The Pasadena Museum of California Art 490 East Union Street, Pasadena, CA. 91101
