Join us for the unveiling of Uprooted. This event is outdoors and will take place in front of the installation, with a reception to follow. Light refreshments will be provided.

Uprooted, a sculptural installation by environmental artist Stephanie Garon, considers humanity's interruption of nature through the visual metaphors of lines. Comprised of steel and English ivy, an invasive plant species sourced at Glen Echo Park, the artwork references the historical, cultural, and scientific lines of the land. Dividing lines define edges: the people that claim access to the land, the invasive species crowding the native environment, and the geological location of Glen Echo Park on a plateau of Piscataway and Anacostan land. Uprooted suggests a degradation of the ecological balance over time.
