by Alicia Kelly and Kali Deno

Oftentimes as humans, we interact with nature from the perspective of alpha. We perceive nature as something we can gain from and take without stopping to observe the lessons that lay before us. We see ourselves separate from the animals and plants. When these spaces are encroached upon or decimated we don’t feel a sense of loss on a personal level because we’ve severed our connection to our own animalistic nature.

Exploring Douglas County’s waterways and their adjacent open spaces, Alicia Kelly and Kali Deno will observe, connect and introduce these experiences through two large scale interactive pop up book pages, complete with sound and a digital element.
