Volunteer: Art in Action at Zilker Park

Come join us at Zilker Nature Preserve this May 9th to celebrate Austin preserves and the newest installment of the ROAM Museum: artist Suzanne Wyss’ What You Are Made Of.

The event kicks off at 9:00 with a volunteer cleanup, wrapping up around 10:30. Afterwards, Suzanne will be on hand to discuss the piece and her creative process; feel free to stay after to explore the preserve!

About the piece:

Using mixed media and recycled materials, Suzanne’s piece takes the viewer underground, providing an imaginative glimpse into the literal foundations of the Austin landscape. Questioning material integrity through the lens of an underground world, Suzanne explores the surprising fluidity of the ground beneath our feet, and asks us to consider the ways in which humans and geology mutually reshape one another.
