*Public Service Announcement*

*For Immediate Release*





*Belgian artist, Sandrine de Borman, to give talk at qllan Brooks Nature
Cetnre*

Thursday, July 28, 7 pm to 9 pm.
Allan Brooks Nature Centre, Vernon, BC

The Caetani Cultural Centre and Allan Brooks Nature Centre are inviting the
public to an artist talk and presentation by their current Fresh! AiR
(artist-in-residence) Sandrine de Borman.



De Borman’s artwork was featured in the Caetani Cultural Centre’s Studio
Gallery unveiling.  Her unique techniques of hammering fresh plants into
fabrics, and using the chemical reaction between the naturally occurring
substances in plants and certain fixatives, piqued the interest of many
people, leading to two extremely successful workshops this past week.



Her presentation will take place this Thursday July 28, at 7 pm, at the
Allan Brooks Nature Centre, where she will share the process of her art and
the history and influences behind it, highlighting the works that she
created here in Vernon during her residency highlighting her weeks of
botanic research, collection, and art making here in the Okanagan, as well
as touching on past work created.



Belgian artist, de Borman emphasizes the importance of appreciating nature,
and human connection in her “walking and talking” art pieces.  She creates
meaningful pieces of art where walking is an integral part of the process,
collecting plants to use in her art piece while also collecting stories
from her companions that are later written into and mapped into her actual
art pieces.



De Borman’s residency is the second of four back-to-back Fresh! AiR art and
environment themed artist residencies for the 2016 season.



*De Borman’s talk at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre on Thursday starts at 7
p.m. Light snacks and refreshments will be served. For more information,
