Inspired by the historical American tent style wedge and “edge” which indicates the outside limit of an area.  Folk refers to participants and that the project facilitator is a self taught surveyist. The goal of “w|edge” is to provoke dialogue about history, environmental and social interest concerning sustainability using hand-made and found tools, survey and art making methods through written surveys regarding the participants’ relationships with the survey area and that of their home. Participants assist in an artful land survey by obtaining data using measurements, observations and tests including sound, soil, water and light, which are processed into drawings on site.   Look for the white w|edge tent and join in with your community by surveying the area together! Survey will last about 1.5 - 2 hours, but participants may join in at any time.    More information about Jacklyn Brickman and her work can be found on her website. www.jacklynbrickman.com  Information:w|edge folk:land Survey Project, Public Survey 2 pm Saturday November 19, 2016 Bladensburg Waterfront Park 4601 Annapolis Road Bladensburg, MD 20710   -- www.jacklynbrickman.com
