In an effort to remember the Ash trees felled by the Emerald Ash Borer in Ohio, the City of Upper Arlington’s Concourse Gallery invited artists around Ohio to create a piece or two showcasing the characteristics of ash wood. We started with ash trees from Upper Arlington and contacted local artists to create something that will last far beyond ash trees in our community.  Thank you to the following artists whose work will be on view:  Michael Keith; Andi Wolfe; Michael Hughes; Paul Courtright; Dennis DeVendra; Marcus Rumer; Tim Cooper; Bruce Kerns; Andrew Miller; Laura Gorun; Ed Miller; Jake Seabaugh, Timothy Staton and Cathering Bell Smith.

I will update photos when the piece is actually hung. The essay this piece is built around will be part of my forthcoming collection being published by Civil Coping Mechanisms, scheduled for release May 2016.
