On Wednesday, September 23, from 12–1 p.m., join us at the museum for a special performance with WSU School of Music faculty member Ruth Boden, who will respond to artist Jim Hodges’ Unearthed through cello and spoken word. Unearthed is a monumental bronze cast of an uprooted tree stump. Powerful and haunting, the work evokes both the majesty of nature and the lasting impact of human intervention on the natural world. Hodges first presented the work in 2019 at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, where it became the focus of music, readings, ritual, and community participation. Now on view at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU, Unearthed offers a new opportunity for audiences in the Palouse and Inland Northwest to experience the work through music, movement, conversation, and shared reflection.
This performance is part of a series of programs inspired by Unearthed, featuring music, readings, and dance. Visitors are welcome to drop in anytime between noon and 1 p.m. and stay as long as they wish. Ruth Boden is an Associate Professor in the WSU School of Music, and also the creator of Music Outside Four Walls, a project that brings new music into the outdoors. An avid hiker, she has spent summers backpacking with her cello and performing new works commissioned for the project.
LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB) on the WSU Pullman campus.

Jim Hodges’ “Unearthed” exhibition is a monumental bronze cast of an uprooted tree stump. The truncated form resonates with majesty while also serving as a mournful reminder of humankind’s impact upon the natural world. The sculpture is suspended in stillness, suggesting what might have been above, stretching branches that had reached into the air towards the sun that once contained life in green and barky rough wildness. With this implication, and through our interaction with the sculpture, “Unearthed” opens generative thought toward relationships between environments and their communities. The work beckons us to consider fragility, ephemerality, as well as the sacredness of life.
This work-in-becoming had its first residency in San Francisco’s Grace Cathedral in 2019. Imagine that in the confines of that edifice the sculpture absorbed metaphysical power from everyday spiritual practice, from a celebration of life observed in rites of faith, musical performances, readings, by a community’s presence, participation, and social interaction. “Unearthed” has its second residency at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at Washington State University, providing the academic and regional community an occasion to approach the work through intentional participation.
In time, its roots will be reunited with the ground through burial, transferring its accumulated goodwill charged with incorporeal memories and energies into the Earth. Only its severed trunk will remain visible, indicating a new role in nature.

Works on view reflect the relationships between environments and communities, while spring installations expand the conversation to themes of home, family, and everyday life, inviting reflection on the natural world and our place within it.

Today, the collection spans the eighteenth century to the present and features a diverse range of regional, national, and international artists whose works illuminate the breadth and evolution of visual culture.
