FOREVER, Colorado is a land art project created ou

FOREVER, Colorado is a land art project created out of foraged Juniper branches. Situated in a valley at 7k feet, the ephemeral work is on private land. Being from South Carolina, I was immediately drawn to the Juniper tree in Colorado because it is so beautifully different from the variety of Juniper which is a ground shrub here. I transported these fallen branches from the side of the mountains down into the valley. This is this first of the FOREVER series that I documented myself with my own drone, creating and documenting at altitude proved to be a physical and technological challenge(ie unanticipated high altitude warnings on my drone, high wind, being the most thirsty that I’ve been since pregnancy, hauling branches by hand down a mountain). I seem to always reach a point during the process where I question if I can complete the project, but this is my SOS to the world, to quote the Police. I hope that someone gets my message in the bottle

In its third iteration, Skyway is a triennial exhibition celebrating the gamut of regional creativities and contemporary art practices flourishing in the Tampa Bay Area. I heard all about the curatorial process for Skyway from @rangsook, curator for the Sarasota Art Museum during an inspiring talk Saturday. My amazingly talented friend @szikszeszter was selected from 300 or so applicants along with 13 other area artists.
@szikszeszter collaborated with @Douglas.tewsbury (sound) for the most hauntingly beautiful work Sounds of Disappearance from their time at the Arctic Circle residency in the North Pole. Eszter’s unique printmaking process on ice powerfully highlights the fragility of this point in climate change, while Doug’s used manipulated speech on climate change for the sound component. Ezster also included glacier landscape scenes in the printed postcards and stacked paper installation We Will Thrive or Melt Together. Lastly Breakable is an installation of eggshells printed with landscape photos of residency.
@jilltaffet showed work that is a delight on its own but layers augmented reality to blow your mind!
@madurezyutopia collected/found object sculptures with dandelions just took my breath away, as did her collected/found vintage mirrors with meticulously placed collage elements encouraged me to consider my role as view, as a part of the artwork and my relationship to the collaged image.
The legend @rogerpalmer7491 mixed media works on paper are like a diary, so honest it’s hard not to feel them.
@robtarbell with eerie portraits colored with chemical fumes(?!)
@Kirk_Ke_Wang multi faceted sculpture skills
And this is just a taste(only 6 of the 14 featured artists shown here). The exhibition is brilliant, if you’re in the area this is a must see!

My works are a visual discussion around climate change, nature, and our insatiable consumer culture. As an intersection between all three issues, found single-use plastics are often used as a key material in my artwork… learn more
