Evergreen Book Presentation with Author Nathan Hutchinson
When: January 10, 3:00-5:00pm
Where: Boulder Public Library, Canyon Theater
Evergreen is artist and author Nathan Hutchinson’s love letter to old-growth forests and wild open spaces in the form of exquisitely painted wilderness scenes accompanied by essays exploring the idea of healing ecological dissociation through the activity of rewilding, beginning with ourselves. With over a hundred illustrations spanning the surreal to ultra-realistic, from oils to pen drawings and watercolors, this book represents the natural world in all its multiplicity, as a unified whole. Printed on 100% recycled chlorine free paper, Evergreen is a one-of-a-kind art book. A limited edition collectors item for all fine art enthusiasts who concern themselves with ecology.
95% of profits go to organizations helping our last remaining old-growth forests and wild open spaces.
The talk will include a slide show of Artwork in the book, and will go through some natural science concerning ancient forests, then into more of the subtle layers of why we need old-growth forests and wild open spaces, such as they are where we’ve come from and must be looking again at them for guidance.
