Janet Eo | Thoughtful displays of cherts, wild plants, railroad remnants, and historical stories and images sit alongside her notes and paintings, which reflect her view as a temporary resident here.

Janet will share how she categorizes and organizes her materials, based on her memories and experiences in the Flint Hills.

Sean Whalen | Sean will highlight sustainable building techniques that he explored during his residency. His construction sample includes clay from Volland and repurposed wood from an existing building on site.
