BIOLOGICAL REGIONALISM SERIES: MAKING SCIENCE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH ART

For the past 20 years, I have working on a body of work entitled the Biological Regionalism Series which was influenced by the Hudson River School Movement of the 19th century. During this movement, artists worked closely with biologists and geologists as they surveyed the American wilderness. These artists then presented their documentation through drawings and paintings to the general public in urban centers who had little exposure to their new environment. The same type of disconnection to nature is occurring today as most of our social and economic reliance has moved to urban centers. This Series uses paintings, videos, drawings, historical and scientific publications to document these specific environmental issues. When a viewer experiences these installations the viewer can begin to create an informed long-term connection between them and their environment and between local and global issues. By doing so, I hope to also create an opportunity to use art and science to spur curiosity and begin conversations in aesthetics, social development, urban migration, economics and environmental policy. The presentation will explore the evolution of the series and recent projects in western New York and Nepal.
