Celebrate the Opening of “In the Middle of Everything” by creating a Forest Crown at Imago! This workshop will be facilitated by Wave Pool artist in residence, Marcy Petit.

During this family friendly workshop participants will use wooden sticks, leaves, pine cones, and other forest treasures to create and personalize their own crowns, transforming into the queens and kings of the forest.

Please note that Marcy will be able to assist 10 crown makers at a time, so you may have to wait a little to get started. You can use this time (or afterwards) to see Marcy’s amazing art piece.

About Marcy’s art piece, “In the Middle of Everything”

Marcy is the recipient of the 2025 Vance Wadell residency program at the Wave Pool gallery.

Deep within the heart of the forest, ancient and magical creatures dwell. Towering, timeworn trees have long been home to countless living beings—animals, insects, and, as whispered in folklore, ethereal beings such as fairies. Together, they safeguard the trees, illuminating them with colors, symbols and patterns unseen by the human eye. Yet, for those who pause, who take the time to truly observe, listen, and feel, the unseen magic may begin to reveal itself.

‘In the Middle of Everything’ is an in situ installation, conceived specifically for the site of Imago, nestled within a preserved natural sanctuary. This project serves as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of forests—an invitation to recognize them as vital, living ecosystems that demand
our care and respect. In return, nature, with its unseen guardians, might reward us in the most unexpected and wondrous ways.

For when we stand among these enchanted trees, we find ourselves in the middle of everything.
