TRIO: Seeking Synergy
by: Beth Wilson
From a distance TRIO flutters and sings in the wind. Come closer and see yourself in the materials, recognize the weight of history and begin to wonder about a new way forward.
The Inoca people believe the “Three Sisters,” corn, beans and squash, are the physical and spiritual sustainers of life. Beth honors this belief by presenting 3 sculptural forms, each approx 20 feet tall made from reclaimed materials found in the area. Each form honors the unique character of each sister, rising above the flower field on a bluff overlooking Emiquon Nature Preserve and the confluence of Illinois and Spoon Rivers just beyond.
Beth Wilson is a Portland based visual artist and is Black Sheep Flower Farm’s first artist in residence, launching our programming with a permanent sculpture that functions both as a welcome sign and a land acknowledgement. This project is funded by a grant from the Oregon Arts Commission and will be presented as part of Black Sheep’s “Spoon River Scenic Drive” festivities that include: you pick flowers, pottery demonstrations and an artist bazaar.
