At that time she also learned of an odd botanical relationship between Appalachian plants and similar plants in Eastern Asia. White will be studying these two separate, but related, ecosystems, and then create a handmade artists’ book documenting, in an artistic way, that research, and exploring how these two disparate ecosystems are seemingly so related. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><br>Fellows will be expected to deliver a brief lecture concerning their findings.
