Evolutionary Tension
Mixed media on Belgian cotton canvas, box framed.
Deep blues and dark olive greens set the stage for a hauntingly beautiful exploration of our place in the natural world. A photo transfer technique incorporates a self-portrait alongside a powerful image of a vulture. Nestled within the composition lies a depiction of an embryo, a symbol of potential and the cycle of life. This work draws inspiration from environmental philosopher Val Plumwood's observation: "Prevailing western culture has created a human-nature dualism, in this world view nature is radically different from the human and human culture is radically separated from it." Evolutionary Tension confronts this divide, prompting us to consider the interconnectedness of all beings.
