Translations II: Living Sanctuary is a temporary sculpture created specifically for this site at Moose Hill. It celebrates the inner life of the trees and the powerful spirit of nature. Artist Susan Kapuscinski Gaylord conceived and directed the project and constructed the banners. Students from Dianna Hampe's art classes at Walpole High School did the drawings on handmade paper from Bhutan.
This is a different kind of drawing; it is not about representing or rendering. It is about experiencing and feeling the life and power of the trees and letting it flow through the hand with as little interference from the mind as possible. The drawings were done with gathered hemlock sprays and cones dipped in sumi ink and used as brushes.
