About the Exhibition
Symbiotic: Art, Nature & Spirituality features women artists who share an interest in the cycle of plants, people, and spirit that make up the substance of life. Exhibiting artists use a variety of processes to connect to their natural environment, including textiles, repetition, pattern, collage, and sculpture. Materials range from natural dye to beeswax, plants to prints. Coming out of the tradition of landscape painting and land art movement born of the 1970s, these women artists patiently respond and respectfully interact with nature to illicit a bond between human spirit and physical environment.
