SUMMARY:"Inherited Ground" Artist Meet & Greet
DESCRIPTION:This project is an intergenerational collaboration between Maggie Thompson (Fond du Lac Ojibwe) and her mother\, Peggy Thompson. Their work brings together weaving\, painting and shared observation of land. Using the grounds of the Arboretum as their common point of reference\, they explore how two distinct visual languages—Ojibwe floral design and painterly depictions of ground—interpret the same environment.  Maggie created woven textile works using ribbon and beads to create Ojibwe florals\, inspired by flowers growing in and around the Arboretum\, while her mother painted a series focused on the ground\, dirt and earth found at the Arboretum. Rather than depicting flowers directly\, her work centers the soil that sustains them\, emphasizing texture and a mother’s role as nurturer. Her paintings function as both physical and conceptual foundations for Maggie’s woven and beaded pieces. Visit the website for ticketing details.
