Lifecycle Installation

“Lifecycle” was created by The Roots Collective for ART from the ashes, Seeds of Regrowth. It is about finding beauty and hope in our constant state of change – whether it comes by choice or by chance. The manzanita stems in this installation were altered forever by the Carr Fire, but the heat of the fire also stimulated seeds dormant in the soil, producing new life. Baskets were salvaged from homes lost in the fire. In combination, they symbolize transformation and transition within natural and human communities as well as their interconnection, which is so much part of life in Shasta County.

Debuting at the 2019 Sundial Music Festival, then traveling to California Street Labs, “Lifecycle” will continue to evolve and grow with community participation. We invite you to write down a thought or intention, or draw an image on the wood rounds provided and place them into the baskets. The objects will undergo their own transformation and be returned to the elements this fall at the close of ART from the ashes, Seeds of Regrowth Exhibition.
