Being in nature can have a powerful effect on our body and mind. It's like a tonic for our well-being. Research has found that it reduces blood pressure, stabilizes our heart rate, and decreases the production of stress hormones. In this week's episode, both our storytellers discover just how therapeutic nature can be. Part 1: Geography and Environmental Sciences Professor John Aubert is having a hard time connecting to his now teenage daughter. Part 2: Sarah Luchini may be in over her head, literally, as she tries to cross a river while hiking on the Appalachian Trail. John Aubert is a Professor of Geography and Environmental Sciences at American River College in Sacramento, CA. After realizing that his family and friends were finally getting tired of hearing his stories, he was ecstatic to discover that he could tell them to strangers! He has taken the stage at numerous Moth Story Slams and has been a featured storyteller for Capital Storytelling, Story Collider, Six Feet Apart Productions, and Artists Standing Strong Together. In addition to storytelling, John's other interests include movies, hiking, fly fishing, and volunteering in his community. Sarah Luchini is Marketing Specialist at Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park. She is responsible for coordinating the Institute's internal and external marketing efforts to grow awareness and engagement, as well as developing and implementing marketing plans in support of the organization's mission to inspire science, learning, and community for a changing world.

Artist Jay Handy, originally from Bay City, Michigan, is presenting a one-person exhibit at Studio 23 in Bay City starting March 25, 2022. The exhibit titled: This Must Be The Place, will include one-of-a-kind pulled prints depicting imagery found in vintage photographs of Bay City. Jay Handy imagined a community project that actually crowd-sourced the residents of this riverfront city in Michigan, to submit their family photos to be used as inspiration and collage elements in his artwork. Val and Armin are so happy that they had a chance to get to know Jay and look forward to attending his reception and workshop. Jay Handy is a printmaker specializing in etching and chine collé to create the signature dreamlike quality that permeates his work. From the Harvard Business School to Lesley University College of Art and Design, the winding road he traveled to arrive at his current position as a passionate and prolific artist imbues his art with the characteristic sense of tension and nostalgia his work is known for. Jay resides in Madison, Wisconsin, where he continues to weave memories into preserved moments in time. Nostalgia is a primary presence in Jay's work, which contrasts beautifully with underlying elements of artistic tension. Like most artists, Jay finds himself reaching back into his history for inspiration. His work seamlessly conjures up memorable moments in life that trigger a feeling and capture that special moment for the viewer. Artist Statement from Jay Handy: My art is an exploration of memory, both in its function and its feeling. When we think back on a memory, it's never quite the same as the initial experience that it was born of—a unique and complicated aura now surrounds it. Depending on the moment in time, it may be tinged with a hint of tenderness or a sense of forlornness. I find myself caught on a memory, turning it over and over in my mind to uncover every unique thread of nostalgia, of joy, of tension. The memory becomes a distinct moment in time, with so clear a life and story all its own that I'm compelled to transform it from a vision to a tangible image. My use of etching and chine collé recreate the memory and transmute the unique qualities that frame it into a language that can speak to viewers and stir within them that shared experience of nostalgia and memory. Regardless of who we are, where we're from, or what time period we've lived through, we each have our own experience of memory and the often bittersweet qualities that those memories are preserved in. My art is the translation of memory from floating fragments to captured moments. Thank you to Jay Handy for this wonderful conversation for Art Ladders. Exhibition at Studio 23 in Bay City starts March 25, 2022. Studio 23 is at 901 N. Water Street, Bay City, MI with telephone number: 989-894-2323. There will be a gallery walk and talk that day starting at 4:15pm and a reception starting at 5pm. Link to Jay Handy's "This Must Be The Place" exhibit reception at Studio 23 in Bay City.

Hear how to reinvent your future in the midst of crisis At the height (or depth) of the COVID-19 crisis, we thought it might be valuable to have an anthropologist share with you his perspective on how we might imagine the changes that are going to follow this major economic disruption, especially since we too are anthropologists. We had Adam Gamwell on our podcast back in September 2017 which you can listen to here, and it was natural to want him back now. As you listen, you'll hear how anthropologists are very good at stepping back and observing the changes and adaptations people are making to the crisis. You will enjoy this podcast, as insightful as it is timely. Listen and learn! Creating stories to explain the pandemic to ourselves While some pundits are already claiming to know what we will do as we come out of this crisis, Adam and I both know from our own experience as futurists and as anthropologists that predicting the future is maybe an art, but rarely a science, much less correct. It is just another clever story that we humans create when we want certainty in a period of uncertainty. These are times when we are re-writing our own personal story so we can make sense out of the disruptions. The fictions are typically ones where we are the heroes, the others are the barbarians, and we win. I hope we, all of us, are winners.  But rather than imagining the unknown and unfamiliar, we can watch and listen to how people attempt to redesign their lives. That is the best “certainty” of all the imagined ones. And that is how people create their realities when the ones they had before are no longer the reality of the present. As I do interviews for our podcast, I love the stories people are sharing with us about how they are capturing the new, and leveraging their talent, their skills and their imaginations to re-invent their own present and future. Join in our conversation and learn from our journey.  More about Adam Gamwell  Dr. Adam Gamwell is a Design Anthropologist, helping people build products, services and systems that solve the challenges they face.

Today I am psyched to introduce you to the artist Elizabeth Mooney. I was introduced to Elizabeth through a good friend of mine who met Elizabeth at the artist residency, Skowhegan. I not only love her paintings because of her paint handling but also the concept she is working with. Elizabeth’s paintings talk about how technology and the economy have impacted the North American landscape and the tradition of landscape painting.   Her work explores these ideas through play with the horizon line and layering of form and line. One thing I really love in her work is also how she plays with the consistency of paint from layering transparent areas to a thick impasto application. In this episode, she talks not only about her paintings but also her kinetic sculpture and printmaking.   We also talk about format/size, “How to keep it fresh”, the shift that can occur in your work due to relocation and how her work was influenced by her assistantship to the artist Michael Mazur http://michaelmazur.net/.   Elizabeth Mooney lives and works in Boston, Massachusetts. She received her MFA in 2007 from California College of the Arts in San Francisco, studied as an undergraduate at the Lorenzo De Medici School in Florence, Italy and received her BFA from Lesley University College of Art and Design. She has been the recipient of various grants, presented her work internationally and is a phenomenal teacher. Seriously listen to her talk and you would want to have her as your faculty member. She is currently faculty at Wellesley College in Wellesley MA. More information about Elizabeth and her artwork can be found at www.elizabethmooney.com https://www.instagram.com/eliz_mooney/   Other links from the show: https://www.thewildresidency.com/ https://lauramosquera.com/home.html
