Inspired by the Land
An exhibit of new artworks by local artists inspired by the landscape at Original Humboldt
September 3-26, 2024
At the Humboldt and District Gallery, 601 Main Street, 2nd floor
On an idyllic fall day in October 2023, a group of people gathered at Original Humboldt for an afternoon of land-based learning with Elder Gilbert Kewistep and his son Myron Neapetung. Among the learners were a group of artists, Cristine Andrew Stuckel, Diana Roelens, Michelle LaFayette, Elaina Adams, Becky Zimmer, Bonnie Conly and Zyg Kondzielewski who have since created new works inspired by the knowledge shared by Gilbert and Myron, the experience of being together on the land, and the sights and sounds of the landscape.
The artworks show the varied perspectives and creativity of the artists, with work in photography, glass, multimedia installations, textile, ceramic sculpture and painting. Each artwork explores its creator’s relationship to the land, their own personal histories and how learning more about reconciliation is changing their understanding of the future.
