Encore Board Member and New Adventures coordinator Rose Gonsoulin, right, with "adventurers" Rita Applegate and Kathleen Kruty standing in front of a display called "Indigenous Evolution".
"Indigenous Evolution" is an art fence that represents the land of the Southwest and the organic fences built by Native people from materials such as adobe, ocotillo or saguaro cactus. The fence harmonizes colors of the Southwest in clay and glass, beginning with darker colors representing land and sky. One of the artists, Tony Jojola says "The fence speaks to the endurance of our culture. It's about going through boundaries and symbolizes our persistent existence."
Rose commented that she "loved the display and it was like Chihuly on talking sticks!"
