My art concerns contemplation of the ways we affect the plants and animals around us, and, sometimes how we may be affected by them. The excessive process I use in my work evokes a quality of human over manipulation. My intent is to create work that will engender thought about the relationship between humans and their surroundings.

This exhibition showcases recent works by . . . artists who have become fascinated with the environmental changes that are taking place and altering our relationship to the natural world. While some focus on the organic process of change itself, others are intrigued by hybrids and mutants, new or variant forms of life and culture that have emerged or that can be imagined as the environment continues to evolve and time moves forward.~David S.
