While there, I observed children being introduced to all sorts of insects. It was very inspiring to watch them learn about the world around them. My favorite exhibits at the event were the glass beehive and the tent full of Garden Spiders.

They had been coming to the forest for a while to exercise and spend time together. I loved their realness and how picturesque they were.  When I first saw Natural Bridge and the area around Red River Gorge, I was instantly reminded of playing with Tonka trucks as a kid. The Limestone monoliths transported me to landscapes that I thought only existed in my imagination, they brought back memories of being on the playground of my apartment complex with scaled down construction equipment pretending to dig holes to China. Whenever I come to this part of the state, these are the thoughts that I have.

I love this linocut, and the way that it looks as though the giant is watching over the family. I came across this family on my way to a naturalist training and I had to snap a quick photo. It was their first time at the forest and they came just to see the giants. When I told them that I was the artist in Residence and explained what I was there to do, they were so excited to be apart of my project. I hope that they come across this image one day and it reminds them of their time in the forest.  This linocut depicts a child experiencing a natural space for the first time. Inspired by a friend's daughter's first time at Huber's Orchard, I wanted to simplify the background as much as possible so that it could represent almost any part of the state. I wasn't introduced to natural until later in life and I didn't go to Huber's for the first time until a few years ago.
