cast: Erika Koivunen, Nancy Gutknecht, Rachel Martin, Meri Lau
The Midvale Community Garden on the near west side of Madison became the site of a wonderful collaboration between scrap metal artist Erika Koivunen and the students from Madison’s Midvale Elementary School. Erika encourages the kids’ creativity by showing them how to look at old junk in a new way, like turning a rusty bike chain into hair for a sculpture. (Watch out for the welding sparks, kids!) This combination of hard steel in the warm, damp garden is a tactile and engaging activity for everyone. Filmmaker Georgia Lyons lives in McFarland.
Filmmakers Georgia Lyon, Erika Koivunen, and Nancy Gutknecht scheduled to attend.
