Sarah Wallace Scott, Tree Hugging, 2020, digital video.
2020 has been rough and the whole world feels it. My time as a creative resident at The Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, Washington gave me a chance to make these short films and I hope they bring you joy, love and healing. Please take care of each other. We need our connections to nature and one another more than ever.
