“Our Shared Planet”

Posted

7_14IOCOurSharedPlanetOn June 18, Groovin’ In The Garden concert series went to solar power when headliner Crankshaft and the Gear Grinders plugged into to a mobile, solar-powered trailer that woodcarving artist Jim Ramsdell uses as his workshop for the ‘Our Shared Planet’ traveling exhibit. Ramsdell was on-hand welcoming concert goers and demonstrating his skills inside the trailer where he worked on his latest woodcarving creation, a mother giraffe and her baby. ‘Our Shared Planet’ is a wildlife woodcarving display dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of the natural world around us and fostering a reverence for all its creatures. It is currently on display in Como’s Exhibit Gallery (in the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory building) through Labor Day. The exhibit contains a number of highly detailed life-size wood sculptures, set against lighted interpretive backdrops, beautiful photographs and quotes along with nature sounds and music, all designed to raise the consciousness and awareness of its visitors.
