Ground/work 2025: A Close Look—the End
Lunder Center
A Clark educator leads a close examination and in-depth discussion around the outdoor sculpture the End by American artist Hugh Hayden. The artist, best known for his works in salvaged wood with protruding, preserved natural branches, transforms local hemlock trees into a massive upside-down ribcage, a form that suggests the remnant of some giant's life. Through guided conversation and reflection, participants consider how Hayden's work is in active dialogue with the Clark's natural environment.
Requires a moderate hike on uneven and occasionally steep terrain. Held rain or shine; extreme weather cancels the event.
