Event Description:
On Sunday, February 11th, the gallery’s Winter Lecture series will feature juried member Kathryn Field. In her lecture titled “Building a Park to Find Hope”, Kathryn will speak about the creation of a sculpture she created for the entrance to Betsy’s Park. Betsy’s Park was created to find hope and honor the memory of Betsy O’Leary and her unborn daughter who were both killed in a tragic accident.
Betsy was a student of Kathryn’s at Holderness School and her parents asked Kathryn to create a sculpture that celebrated her life and welcomed the community to the park. Kathryn has created sculpture for the past 4 decades of work in Bronze, Steel, Stone, and Wood. Most of her public sculptures are in Chicago but many have enjoyed seeing her work this summer in Meredith. There, her stainless-steel Loon sculpture graces the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee as part of the Meredith Sculpture Walk.
This fall another large sculpture was dedicated at Betsy’s Park in Holderness on White Oak Park.
This lecture will introduce the process of creating the sculpture from the ground up.
