“Living Quilt for Santa Rosa” by Jane Ingram Allen Featured in IN HABITAT online magazine about eco art and design

Check out this great article about my recent public art project “Living Quilt for Santa Rosa” published on Sept. 4, 2019 at https://inhabitat.com/artist-creates-a-living-quilt-to-commemorate-santa-rosa-fires/

The artwork is still on view at Rincon Ridge Park in the Fountaingrove area of Santa Rosa, California. Most of the flowers are now dormant, and many of the  the wildflowers flowers used in the “bed” will come back again next Spring.

Documentary photographs and a sample of the handmade paper quilt used for this public art project is also on display at an exhibition opening today in Santa Rosa at the Finley Community Center. The exhibition features 100 artworks created by residents of Santa Rosa in response to the October 2017 wildfires that devastated parts of the City.

The public art installation “Living Quilt for Santa Rosa” is starting to sprout, and the tiny wildflower plants will continue to grow over the next few months. It all depends on nature, and we have had lots of rain lately. It also has not been too cold, so I hope that all holds out. These photos were taken on Dec. 20 at the site of the installation at Rincon Ridge Park, Santa Rosa, CA.
Hope everyone has a Happy Holiday time and that you get a chance to go see the installation as it continues to change over time. Thank you again to all the volunteers who helped with this public art project sponsored by the City of Santa Rosa as a response to the devastating wildfires of last October. Keep watching here for more photos of the installation.
