An Easter Egg Hunt
Jenny Dowd
This weekend a very special Easter Egg Hunt is happening at R Park hosted by the Jackson Hole Land Trust.
Visit R Park between April 2nd - 5th and you will find art installations created by 4 local artists. Within each a letter has been hidden and will spell out a word that unlocks a trunk full of Easter Eggs.
I’m super excited to be part of this project, and while my art is not specifically egg themed, you will still have to hunt for it.
I started out making several small elements: unfired porcelain mushrooms, tiny flowers, plus strands of fabric circles strung with buttons. My vague idea before installation day was mostly formed by the shadows cast on the white on white snowy landscape.
Installation day was a beautiful clear yet cold day, I tucked mushrooms and tiny flowers into the leaves, snow, and dirt below a grove of trees.
After spending a lot of time walking around and looking at this spot, strands of fabric were hung in an arch over the grove of mushrooms. Laying on the warm ground and looking up was the best view! The fabric seemed to mimic the fluffy clouds above.
This was hard to photograph, so if you are in the area I hope you stop by to find all the details.
Happy spring!
I’m sure we will have many more chilly days in Wyoming over the next few months, but spring is finally here!
