Community of a Plate Exhibit Process

This summer I have been doing some dreamy work for an organization I strongly believe in.

The Community of a Plate design team used their personal experience from life on the farm. Ruth Sauvageau and Terese Elhard were able to donate all of the barn wood with the help of their families in northern Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota. Kathleen Reitan, Terese's cousin, assisted as carpentry mentor during five weeks of production. Each frame was built as part of a set that is hinged together to form seven towers, all of which hold the panels of stories. The exhibit is intended to engage the viewers in an authentic farm atmosphere, and display the Community of a Plate stories that highlight the tradition of farmers providing food to their communities.

HELL YES. NEMO DESIGN. PORTLAND, OR.

also, BEHOLD HOLDEN.

Peregrine Falcons. Babes. I unpacked a special exhibit about these little guys and their families at the Bell Museum of Natural History today. Their population was revived in Minnesota by bringing them to the tops of Minneapolis skyscrapers. Now they thrive across the state. And now this photo reminds me of many human characters I have met in my life.

None have topped these, though.
