Join us on Saturday September 14, 6-9pm, as the IFF celebrate’s our first Science + Art Resident – Christine Wertheim. Over the summer, Christine has been constructing giant crocheted sculptures inspired by the Silurian Age, the era in earth’s history when life moved from sea to land. These astounding polymorphic forms result from an on-going evolutionary process that has grown out of techniques developed during our Crochet Coral Reef project. Summer workshop participants have contributed pieces made from plastic bags and other plastic detritus, adding a communal dimension to the work.
