Walk, Gawk & Talk: Deep seeing in the Catskills is an experiential community art series and video documentary connecting people to art and each other through nature. Deep seeing brings artists, nature, and the public together to allow us to experience the world from other perspectives. It addresses the need to go beyond our differences and the thinking that divides us and to view nature and each other as a source of inspiration. The entire series is documented by videographer Alan Powell, including initial discussions amongst the artists, interviews, footage of the walks and audience participation. A final document archives the process of Deep Seeing in the Catskills and becomes the final presentation of the series.
