Building a Victory Garden
Headlands has invited artists Amy Franceschini (AIR ’03) and Michael Swaine (AIR ’03) to create our first site-specific commissioned artwork in twenty years. A large-scale planter box is being constructed adjacent to Headlands’ kitchen, to produce edible savory herbs for use in our dinner program. This artwork is a resource for renewable, locally grown food, while literally nourishing our artist community. The work further resonates with our campus of repurposed military buildings, relating to a historic movement during World Wars I and II when our site was still an active Army base. Collaborators, including permiculturist Arcangelo Wessels and writer Cooley Windsor (AIR ’00), will also participate.
