As an aspiring archivist, getting to dig into research, and finding and reading every piece of information available about Inna Ray, was truly a joy. Ray kept a lot of records and documented her journeys in her blog and sketchbooks, so there was tons of information available. I have read every entry of her blog, every sketchbook she created, every poetry book she wrote, and even looked at the copies of <em>Native<\/em> that we have in Chapman&#8217;s Special Collections and Archives. Even with all this research, something about Inna&#8217;s work remained elusive to me. I felt as though I knew everything about her but still struggled to find a way to connect her work to the Orange audience.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4367\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4367\" style=\"width: 229px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4367 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2025\/02\/20250116_182155147_iOS-229x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2025\/02\/20250116_182155147_iOS-229x300.jpg 229w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2025\/02\/20250116_182155147_iOS-783x1024.jpg 783w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2025\/02\/20250116_182155147_iOS-768x1004.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2025\/02\/20250116_182155147_iOS-1174x1536.jpg 1174w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2025\/02\/20250116_182155147_iOS-1566x2048.jpg 1566w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2025\/02\/20250116_182155147_iOS-scaled.jpg 1957w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 229px) 100vw, 229px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4367\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One edition of Native magazine held by Special Collections in the Leatherby Libraries.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One sunny day halfway through the month I took myself on a nature walk. I decided that the best way to connect to Inna\u2019s work would be to experience nature the way she did. On my walk, I found my inspiration, as Inna did, in the trees. Beautiful trees I\u2019ve passed hundreds of times before now seemed to speak to me. Through Inna&#8217;s work I have been able to reconnect with Nature and see the landscape around me through fresh eyes. What I realized about Inna\u2019s work is that the way to connect with it is to connect with nature. Without the experience of seeing the world I wouldn\u2019t have been able to truly understand the landscapes I had spent weeks looking at.<\/p>\n<p>As we head into the next few months with <em>Body of the World<\/em> opening at the end of March, I feel as though my work is not finished but simply being put on pause. When the show begins, I\u2019ll assist the Art Ambassdor student docents in leading tours and helping promote the opening. One goal, or takeaway, I have for the exhibition is that viewers learn to see the world the way Inna did; to go out into the world, and see nature, and experience life like Inna did.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>We invite you to explore all the works in the Escalette Collection by visiting our\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/chapman.emuseum.com\/collections\"><i>eMuseum<\/i><\/a><i>.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i>Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences is the proud home of the Phyllis and Ross Escalette Permanent Collection of Art.
