Artist Statement - B.Ghita
I first became interested in woodcut prints as a college student when I took an art class as an elective. I loved the medium's many possibilities for design and surface textures. Woodcuts can be bold or subtle, crude or refined.
Inamed this piece, "Stroll Through The Forest", and it depicts what I've found interesting during my multi day walks through The Forest.
This particular woodcut is printed on organic hemp using organic textile ink.
It was a pleasure to be with you all through this experience. I had such a pleasure seeing all that you have offer with your craft!
About the Electric Forest Music In Schools Program
Electric Forest’s Music In Schools Program has supported local music education since 2012. Each year, thousands of dollars are donated to help keep music part of the curriculum in Michigan public schools.
By donating money and instruments to local school music programs, Electric Forest is bridging the gap between diminishing school budgets and music program resource needs. The Music In Schools Program also offers hands-on experiences to music students including performance opportunities at the festival, as well as on-site mentor opportunities, where students interested in music production “shadow” Electric Forest professionals during the event.
After all, Electric Forest’s home should be a place of musical discovery year-round!
