WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE
From now until Nov. 13 at the Coconino Center for the Arts in Flagstaff, the art show “Watershed” explores the impact of development and climate change on Northern Arizona’s land and water. Designed specifically for the Center, Bryan David Griffith (a past Open Portfolio subject) gathered seasonal plants, dyes, pigments and wood from lands at the edge of Flagstaff’s growth boundary and incorporated them into a series of earthy, ethereal works that combine experimental painting, primitive photography and sculpture.
