Gerber’s Natura Urbana is a multiple process project. She and Tretola spend time collecting urban detritus in the neighborhood surrounding Deb’s Park.
Then it is back to the studio to harvest clay and soil to prepare it for casting of the found objects.
Chad and Scot Rea at work in the studio finalizing the designs for their birdhouses.
