Ophir spent 10 days with DFA members working on the EG2 Project elements during her April stay. The natural side of the river is completely woven. We have finalized several elements and are ready to begin work on them: silk cocoon Balsamroot flowers, railroad (just need color choice), fishtails (waiting for rye grass & tule to grow larger), Sprang electric towers, close a final decision on the man-made side of the river, roads, Tyvek rocks, & hands. Ophir hosted an Open House for the accomplishment of the week-long marathon workshop on the last Friday of her stay. AMAZING!
During Ophir’s stay, Vicki, Betsy, Marion & Ophir met with the REACH Museum staff to solidify the dates for the installation, EG2 Artist reception, opening weekend, and take down.
