Description
“Putting something called Nature on a pedestal and admiring it from afar does for the environment what patriarchy does for the figure of Woman. It is a paradoxical act of sadistic admiration.” Timothy Morton, Ecology Without Nature
Recent drawings explore humans’ relationship to ecology with a specific focus on animals. Rejecting the common perspective of human dominion, these drawings explore the idea of mutuality in our relationships with other beings.
Materially diverse drawing media are used with an emphasis on dry pastels, a newer approach that encourages a combination of playfulness and control.
In the context of a time when humans have successfully learned to control the surrounding world- to a frightening and uncanny extent- I hope that these works encourage viewers to appreciate what is at stake when we consider environmental loss.
