Question:
What impressions are you left with about the pine beetle epidemic after seeing the artists’ work on the topic?

Answers:

• That we are in trouble with our forests
  
• No matter what the artist paints the outcome is still the same, dead pine trees
  
• Felt moved by many of the pieces
  
• It is such a big, big problem worldwide- an epidemic
  
• I would like to see more positive elements in this display, After all, beetle infestations have been happening for hundreds of years
  
• Increasing understanding about reality in the community
  
• Such loss left me quite emotional then some art pointed towards hope renewal and regrowth
  devastation, hope It is interesting to see someone else’s perspective
  
• Optimism of people in a time of crisis
  
• It’s good to try and see the positive in a difficult situation
