This juried exhibition will showcase personal interpretations of the region’s cultural and natural resources to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreational Area. The works selected for the show go beyond the literal, whether realistic or abstract in their depiction, to evoke the spirit of the spaces and places of the Delaware River Valley. Participants from around the country created furniture, photography, jewelry, ceramics, 3D printing and more as a result of their experiences in the inspiring park. Walter Stevens reflects on the contemplative time he spends in the forests of the Delaware River Valley in “Fallen Tree Chest,” a functional furniture piece made of Walnut and Tiger Maple woods.
