FIFTH ANNUAL CREATE-WITH-NATURE EARTH DAY CELEBRATION AT STINSON BEACH
Hands-on collaborative art event honors nature, engages public
Stinson Beach, CA, March 17, 2009 - Environmental artist Zach Pine will host his fifth annual free create-with-nature Earth Day celebration at the south end of Stinson Beach on Saturday, April 18, 2009.
Using sand, rocks, shells, and other natural objects from the beach, participants work alone and in groups to spontaneously create outdoor sculpture. In past years, beachgoers stacked rock towers, made spirals from seaweed, planted a forest of "trees" made of driftwood, and created dragons, fairies, and abstract designs. During the event, the beach is transformed into an outdoor sculpture gallery, with unexpected connections among the varied artworks.
Pine's motivation for hosting the event comes from a desire to inspire environmental action not only on Earth Day but throughout the year: "My art-making with natural materials brings me a heightened connection with nature that stimulates environmental action in my daily life. I host this event to share that process of connection, learning, inspiration, and action with others."
The site for the event, at the south end of Stinson Beach, offers an unusual diversity of natural materials and microenvironments: boulders, stones, tide pools, seaweed, driftwood, feathers, and sea glass. The event begins with beach cleanup and collecting materials.
Photographs of past years' events are on Pine's website, naturesculpture.com; images from this year's event will be exhibited there as well.
Pine is an internationally exhibited environmental artist whose group art-making events, school workshops, and hands-on installations have engaged thousands in the Bay Area.
