Human Impact focuses on the pressing issues facing the natural environment of New England and the global world. Featuring a group of national and internationally recognized artists, the exhibit examines our shifting perspectives and connection with the land during a time of dramatic ecological change and human advancement.
With nature as the setting – its forests, plants, lakes, and the air we breathe – these artists convey personal narratives and critical reflections of our complicated relationship to our environment, which will inform and shape the destiny of future generations. Probing complex environmental, social, political, and economic issues entwined with our shared ecology, the artwork in Human Impact reveals our ever-evolving connection to – and power over – nature.
Featured Artists: Diane Burko, Adriane Colburn, John Gerrard, Renée Greenlee, Kari Greer, Nicolei Buendia Gupit, Sallie Dean Shatz, and Rebecca McGee Tuck
