Be Wise Stewards of Life on Earth - A Virtual Exhibit

As artists whose work focuses on a critical representation of animal life and nature there is a lot we can do to ‘be wise stewards of life on earth’. We have made a conscious choice to create work that is more-than-human and in doing so we blur the boundaries, confront uncertainty and embrace unexpected outcomes.

Often the more we learn the more it propels us, the more it becomes integral to our work. How as human artists, can we imagine and connect with the creative lives of other animal beings without hierarchy, without sentimentality? There are new progressive shifts in ideologies that are chipping away at the false dichotomies that have long separated us from them. We may not know what it is like to be a pig, a caterpillar or a pigeon, but we know that it is like something. Sentience lives in all of us.

Art has the potential to open mutable spaces within us for contemplation and critique. How do we engage our viewers to look deeper? As artists, we want to think outside, we want to envision justice, we want to question the dominant culture, because life on earth is a creative endeavor. This gives us hope and helps fuel our art as we look toward the vulnerable future together for our home, the Earth.
