WARWICK — Artist, teacher and Warwick resident Dan Mack will present "Creative Aging" at the Albert Wisner Public Library.
In this one-hour presentation, Mack will talk about fresh creative and spiritual opportunities not only for people in later life, but for anyone going through a life transition.
For Mack, creativity is not really about “art” but about finding ways to keep making our lives meaningful.
The Big Question is: “In what ways can we become regenerative for ourselves, our families and our community?"
There are many answers. Come and join in. The presentation includes images, poems, videos, a playful exercise, handouts and discussion.
The program will be offered on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 2 p.m., and Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 6:30 p.m.
Mack has worked with natural materials for 35 years as an artist, furniture maker and architectural consultant. His work is in many private and museum collections. He also has written several books.
Since 2010, he's been doing less rustic furniture and architectural services and more sculptural work with natural materials.
Currently, he is working on sculptural collections from bark he gathers from the banks of the Hudson River. This is the Anima series - a collection of figures and since 2013, a collection of stone carvings, yet unnamed.
