Feedback comments from Mackenzie

Feedback comments from Mackenzie:

• there is beauty, even in devastation
• I am encouraged that there is still beauty seen, and still hope abounding despite the devastation
• a true depiction of what has or is happening as a result of the pine beetle epidemic
• wide range of media used with a wonderful understanding of the impact of the issue
• people have embraced this and are making and creating awareness out of “Mother Nature”
• not just a work of art, it reaches far beyond this

Comments from Red & Blue Burns Lake and Red & Blue Houston

• opening doors/ ideas and economic diversification
• It was very interesting & enlightening to see the impact & impression the mountain pine beetle has made & artistic impressions of this
• The sheer variety of the work and the inventive creativity
  sad
• We are at one with nature, lets not destroy it anymore
• Loss, pain & sadness & life after devastation
• Also art can show hope as well as reflecting the destructiveness sometimes seen in nature
• Life goes on- devastating but beautiful
• It has opened my eyes
• I’m left with a sense of dramatic loss, with a seed of hope
• I never knew the pine beetles were so small
