ARTIST MARELA ZACARÍAS, during a field trip to Willowell on Sept. 24, gives instructions to Vergennes Union Elementary School fourth-graders on how to match colors of paint to the correct sections of “Azimuth,” a new sculptural mural on Willowell land.
MONKTON — In the woods of the Willowell Foundation land in Monkton, artist Marela Zacarías is leading the local community in turning 1,024 square feet of reconstructed silo into a permanent sculptural mural installation. Zacarías’s project, called “Azimuth,” is part of a series of artist residencies at Willowell that interpret both pre-Columbian design motifs and Vermont’s natural environment. According to Zacarías, “Azimuth” “is meant to work as a meditation on transformation and an offering to nature.”
