AICHO Galleries is excited to host our first in-person art exhibition in the new year. Our first exhibition is “As Long as the Rivers Shall Run” by Duluth artist Ellen Sandbeck. It is the latest series of multicolored, multi-layered, papercuts by Sandbeck, and an exploration of major rivers, beginning in our own backyard, with the Mississippi.
“As Long as the Rivers Shall Run,” the latest series of multicolored, multi-layered, papercuts by Ellen Sandbeck, is an exploration of major rivers, beginning in our own backyard, with the Mississippi. The series will feature endemic species, including endangered, recently extinct, and invasive ones, found in each of the featured rivers. The text for this series will include the scientific name, conservation status, and a snippet of natural history for each of the featured species, as well as brief comments about the environmental challenges faced by each river. The Mississippi will be represented by five large-scale papercuts (39” x 27”): “Mississippi River Headwaters,” “Upper Mississippi River,” “Middle Mississippi River,” “Lower Mississippi River,” “Mississippi River Delta.” |
