2021 LAND ART TRI-ART-ATHLON
In September 2021 members had an opportunity to participate in land art, as much or as little as they like, with multiple options in dates, locations, people and experiences. The goal was to go into nature, create and connect with fellow NCWCA members and their friends.

"From the man-made lake built on top of land made from human debris and landfill was planted a-weeping willow tree.
Her roots seeking nourishment came up above ground pushing, till the roots started forming an eye. When the eye opened she could see the beautiful planet she was attached to, with fires and winds, sunrises and sunsets, planets flying past. Glittery stars promising more and less. The leaves of Weeping willow tree rustled and swung as her hair brushed her eyes." --Jessica Phrogus

"We collaborated on a theme of healing for California, using a driftwood log as a sort of coastline, parallel to the actual coastline. On either side of the coastline two figures emerged - we danced to the house music of a nearby Burning Man party as we worked." Eleanor Ruckman
