A print by an young local artist is now on display in the Queenswood dining room. It was commissioned by Queenswood to celebrate Earth Day 2009. In this photograph the artist, Sara Dent, re-interprets Leonardo Da Vinci's famous "Last Supper" painting. Sara's "Last Supper?" helps us to consider both the ancient Christian narrative and contemporary ecological issues in a new and engaging way, motivating faith-based action for ecological sustainability. You can view this photo on our photo page.
Sara Dent is a photographer, arts-based facilitator and permaculturist who lives on Cortes Island, BC. She has been photo-journaling her life for the past fourteen years. "Photography for me is about my relationship with what I am capturing. I have been avoiding commercializing my process for a long time. My focus is nature. I am constantly in awe of her. Something has shifted inside of my psyche after farm school. I’m ready to show my images; I need to convey my deep passion for food and permaculture.” Sara’s medium is still film. She shoots slide, recognizing the adverse environmental impacts of photo chemicals. If you are interested in seeing more of Sara's work, she will be our guest presenter on Sunday May 10 at Queenswood’s Evening with an Artist. Her works will be shown on a slide projector.
