Natural and Creative Capital
. The compelling exhibition provides a contemplativelook at the relationship between culture and nature. Throughout history, artists havechosen natural spaces as their subject matter and now more than ever it seems theserelationships are complicated with concerns for the sustainability of place, thepermanence of humanity, and our own interconnection to the vast world. It is throughthe reflections of video artist Richard T. Walker, photographer Sean McFarland, andsculpture/installation artist Mari Andrews that the viewer will be provoked toexamine their own relationship to the world around them, and to what they hold dearand what they chose to disregard.
