work by Beth Wilson for TERRAIN

TERRAIN is a community driven environmentally centered art oasis bringing wild nature through artistic responses to the surrounding landscape and its history. At its core, TERRAIN provides supported opportunities for artists to create new, unique works, cultivating the expansion of creative thinking and making. The goal is to foster greater environmental awareness both in the artists themselves and our audiences.

TERRAIN artists were prompted by the dynamic history of what lies around and beneath Building 5. This site used to be home of Guild’s Lake and wetlands connecting Forest Park and the Willamette River.
