The day started with a guided stretching session, led by one of the artist fellows, to get everyone grounded and present before the studio visit began.
Mary Frances then walked the cohort through her process and cross-sector work, including her celebrated Modern Icons: Endangered Species series. The series draws on the materials and traditions of ancient masters to examine how humanity uses, reveres, and sacrifices water, land, and animals — themes that run right alongside the questions this fellowship is asking about Lake Coeur d'Alene and the watershed.
From there, she led the artists through a set of exercises designed to get them thinking about project concepts and working together as a cohort — an early step toward the projects they'll be developing over the course of the fellowship.
The day wrapped up with dinner, giving the fellows time to keep talking, connect, and carry the energy of the studio visit into the evening.
It was a full day of looking inward, looking outward, and looking toward what's next for this cohort.
