Sunday at Headlands with Jennilie Brewster and Helena Keeffe
Sunday August 15, Noon – 5PM-Building 944 | FREE Admission

1PM Come on an Outing with Helena Keeffe and National Park Service Ranger Mía Monroe
4PM Create Your Self Portrait as a Constellation with Jennilie Brewster
Noon – 4:30PM Mess Hall Café Open

Spend the afternoon at exploring public works by artists in residence in the Project Space studios, enjoying organic café fare, and participating in artist-led activities.

At 1PM, join Project Space AIR Helena Keeffe and NPS Park Ranger Mía Monroe for a hike to discover and identify plants of the Headlands and make drawings along the way. Ranger Mía Monroe will look closely for late summer blooms, seeds and fruit posing the question: how does the plant world spread itself but also protect itself through spine and poison?

While in the Project Space from July 28 to August 31, Keeffe will work with Alula Editions collaborator Amber Cady to make textiles comprised of these drawings collected from the hikers and other Headlands’ visitors that will then be worked into repeat patterns, silkscreened on fabric, and sewn into a to-be-determined object.

At 4PM, create your self portrait as a constellation with Jennilie Brewster. While in the Project Space Brewster will work on a series of paper sculptures, 3-D collages comprised of her old photos, postcards, and book pages—painted and stapled into quirky crushed paper balls that bring to mind meteors and stars, electrons, and atoms. For this program she will invite fellow visitors to bring with them ephemera of their lives to create their own “self-portraits” and place them in the piece. Hung, clustered, and pinned throughout the room; shifting in and out of various formations; evolving constellations of human experience.
