Description

Nathaniel Parsons will be at Interface Gallery carving into his work "Table Talk," a picnic table he has installed as part of the Wild & Free exhibit at Interface Gallery. Visitors are invited to sit and carve and talk with Parsons.

ABOUT WILD & FREE
Inspired by Gary Snyder's The Etiquette of Freedom, this exhibition explores the way western culture typically thinks about and relates to wildness. In so doing, it also attempts to visualize an alternative more holistic relationship to the environment, which, for Snyder, is the path to true freedom. Included works interrogate mythic constructs of sublime and abundant nature and critique how the landscape has been packaged and sold under the auspices of the American Dream. They also draw from the good humor, simplicity, and gratitude that Snyder finds in nature and believes "brings us close to the actually existing world and its wholeness."
