The artists participating in the July residency at Terra Vivente Art Studio are: Margaret Craig, a sculptor and printmaker from Texas, USA, who presents a project using recycled plastic bottles and transforming them into delicate organic forms; Ingrid Tremblay, a French-Canadian from Montreal, who works with natural forms, sculpted locally found tuff, and made plaster molds of local plant life; Crystal Davis, a poet from Tasmania, Australia, who brought her vintage typewriter with her to write on leaves and other natural material, and also made videos of her investigations during the residency; Rachael Bower, an artist from Texas, USA, inspired by the plant and animal life present in Guardia, worked with drawing and painting on paper.
