THE TOUR EXPERIENCE
Visitors follow the upper Quarry Path to Dragon Rock. Along the way, the tour features stunning views of the House and Studio, an ascending stone staircase, a field of mountain laurel, and the exquisite moss room. Visitors approach Dragon Rock by crossing the majestic waterfall via a wood plank bridge. Interior spaces are defined by expanses of glass, innovative materials use, and seamless connections to outside terraces. The Tour concludes by following a stepping stone path over the Quarry Pool dam to the Visitor/Guide House.
As a part of the Artist Residency Program, Manitoga presents Close Your Physical Eye by Michele Oka Doner. Oka Doner's work and Wright's Manitoga are rooted in the sacredness of nature - its force, transcendence, eternal spirit, and timelessness.
The primal, elemental force of Fire and its diminished role in contemporary society have long held Oka Doner's artistic attention, and she continues her quest at Manitoga. An ancient trunk she foraged from Manitoga's woodlands will transform through fire into a darkened bronze Burning Star with sixteen points of candle light and will occupy the massive hearth of Dragon Rock's living room. Oka Doner gathered the bark of once mighty hemlock trees from Manitoga's forest floor and from these remains have emerged her gods and goddesses - six larger-than-life textured mono-prints on handmade paper, also derived from bark, that will be on view within the main House west gallery.
