Vermont Business Magazine Artist Michele Brody will present her solo exhibition “Papers of Place,” which will be displayed in the McCarthy Arts Center at Saint Michael’s College in Colchester starting Thursday, September 29. Brody, a mixed-media environmental artist from New York, used plants gathered from the College’s natural area in producing the pieces that will be shown. The art will be hung on the glass of the gallery using paper she made from the plants. She has also been working with Saint Michael’s students on paper-making, and students helped install her work in McCarthy.
Brody’s exhibition is being done in collaboration with ecoartspace, an organization of international artists whose work explores environmental issues. Brody connected with Saint Michael’s College through ecoartspace, and her idea to use materials from the College’s natural area came after a site visit at Saint Michael’s in June 2022.
