POLLINATING THE CONCORD RIVER
A Land Art Project
Pollinating the Concord River is a two-phase land art project rooted in the native ecology of the Concord River — a living dialogue between painting, place, and collective action.
Phase 1 — The Painting
Sandy Sudar creates an original landscape painting of the Concord River, immersing herself in its native wildflowers, birds, and riparian ecosystem. The painting is the root: every flower, every form that follows is born from it.
Phase 2 — The Land Art Action
On June 9, inspired directly by the flowers depicted in the painting, Sandy leads a collective performance at the reserve. Collaborators and volunteers join her to drape, weave, and place fabric interventions along the riverbank — ephemeral, non-invasive gestures that echo the living forms of the landscape
•THE PURPOSE 3rd action
Open to transformation. Walking with awareness is the simple activator of the Planetary Energy net guides, moving through the energy of the places we know, ignore or recognize, will drive to move this new frequency and activate the network that unites us. "Only by entering the Way, will we recognize the many steps we have taken on it ... The further we get, the closer we will find ourselves"
Research
The project begins with a sustained study of the Concord River’s native flora and fauna — its wildflowers, pollinators, birds, and riparian plants — which become the visual vocabulary of the painting and the choreography of the action.
Documentation
Professional photography and video capture the performance from multiple perspectives, becoming the living content of a QR experience that extends the work beyond the gallery walls — art that breathes in two places at once.
