Katherine Glickler

Abuela árbol by Katherine Glickler and Reiney Brown invited viewers to contemplate questions of an old growth Cottonwood tree on the Eastern bank of the Riverwalk just South of Mills Avenue. The questions asked the tree what she has seen, whose secrets she keeps, whose joys she has shared and whose sorrows, whom she has loved, whom she mourns for and what she wishes she could make us understand. The questions were pierced in metal in Spanish and English and attached to an antique door purchased in Las Vegas that came from Ft. Davis during American Expansionism and was finished by Mary Margaret Mitschke, an artist in Truchas, New Mexico. The door was in front of the tree, allowing visitors to experience a visual passageway to the past and to healing.
