<p class="BasicParagraph"><span class="Body"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;line-height:120%;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The concept for the exhibit is a creation of local artist, Laurel Macdonald, and poet, Georgia Tiffany, who together collaborated
with 20 artists and 21 poets. The project begins with Ron McFarland’s poem about a woman’s life journey titled “The Lover of Lakes”. This poem is followed by George Wray’s drawing “The Swimmer”, which is a response to McFarland’s creation. For the remainder
of the project, each poet and artist responded to the previous work, so that each is a continuation of the work before it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

their work, and the Palouse area is home to many artists, working in a variety of media.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
