Her work expl ores memory\, place\, and belonging through the medium of cut paper. She r eflects on the layered experiences of migration and draws from the landsca pes and traditions of both her hometown and her adopted home. Influenced b y Chinese folk art\, nature\, and personal history\, Chen’s hand-cut des igns incorporate motifs rooted in cultural and spiritual imagery. These el ements intertwine with natural forms and with narratives drawn from local histories. Across her practice\, she often examines the tension between co nnection and distance\, both physical and emotional\, that emerges through displacement and assimilation.\nThrough cutting and layering paper\, Chen creates pieces that bridge past and present. Her work offers a meditative space where identity\, memory\, and shared experiences of migration can b e reconsidered. She invites viewers to reflect on how relationships with l and\, family\, and home are continually rebuilt.\nChen graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2023 with a BFA in Illustration. Her work has been exhibited in Hawaii\, Louisiana\, Massachusetts\, New York\, and Rhode Island. She has served as a juror for the 46th Annual Student Exhib ition at Brown University\, was a 2021 Contemporary Art Department Fellow at the RISD Museum\, a finalist for an MTA Art &\; Design public art pr oject\, and a 2023 resident at the Peter Bullough Foundation.\n\n\n\n\n[ga llery size="medium" columns="4" ids="30282\,30284\,30286\,30287"]\n\nFood from Nutrition 365\n\nMusic: Slough Creek\n\n\nSlough Creek is a Saranac L ake\, NY-based Americana band defined by tight harmonies and hold-onto-you r-hat instrumental breaks. With songs rooted in place\, Slough Creek trans ports listeners to the sagebrush steppe of Wyoming\, woodland streams of t he Midwest\, salt marsh flats of New England\, and the sloughs\, fens\, bo gs\, and mires of their Adirondack home.\n\nSlough Creek is led by singer- songwriter Charlie Reinertsen on vocals and rhythm guitar. Marion Hoelzel provides intricate countermelodies on the banjo while singing harmonies th at breathe life into each song. Bill Chamberlain provides the pepper and s izzle with dazzling mandolin work\, and Jon Zander holds the entire band t ogether through tight bass and masterful instrumental arrangements. Brough t together by their love of wild places and the power of a good tune\, the ir music bridges contemporary roots music traditions.\n\n\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wildcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/20 26/03/Troll-Tues.jpg CATEGORIES:Outdoors,Special Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
