Finding Away Ari Derfel, Kuros Zahedi

 
Trash may well be the least inspiring material there is. It is in itself a potent symbol, surfacing as an emblem of the underlying hurtful way in which humans relate to nature. Finding Away is a single work of art created from a year’s worth of trash collected by Derfel in 2007. Derfel’s decision to save his trash for 365 days gained national attention and has brought the phenomenon of trash into unusual focus. Join us for a showing of this inspiring piece of work. Derfel cofounded Back to Earth, an organic catering company and outdoor adventure program. Zahedi is a visual artist whose work examines the human being and nature and their ultimate inseparability.
