OUTDOORS

Camille Hoffman is the featured artist for the 2023 Trail Mix series. Trail Mix combines art and nature, with hikers and bikers following a trail to an art installation. Soft Gaze reimagines gold as an ancestral symbol for interdimensional vision and protection. It is a meditation on the sacred nature of this precious metal, as well as the notorious social and environmental impact that greed from gold mining has had on Indigenous lands of the Philippines and Colorado.
