Visitors to Art Alley in the HUB-Robeson Center at Penn State might gain a new perspective on nature through the works of its latest exhibit, âWhen the Bough Breaks.â According to curator Susanne Slavick, the exhibit, which opened in the HUB on Jan. 17, features pieces by eight artists. As a whole, Slavick said the works speak to humanityâs relationship with nature and trees. âI want it to be a motivating experience to do something about what is observed or deduced from seeing the works,â Slavick said. Slavick has a piece featured in the exhibit. Alex Lukas, an assistant professor of art at University of California, Santa Barbara, contributed to the exhibit. To Lukas, the exhibit serves as a mechanism to allow trees to be the center of attention in a story.
