A Clark educator leads a close examination and in-depth discussion around the outdoor sculpture by Japanese artist Yō Akiyama. Akiyama has spent a lifetime exploring the physical properties of clay as a material, creating massive sculptural ceramics. Anchored to the ground and reaching towards the sky, the artist's sculpture is inspired by the trees in the Clark's landscape. Through guided conversation and reflection, participants consider how Akiyama's work is in active dialogue with the Clark's natural environment. Free.
