Everything Is Everything- an exhibition at Gallery 16, in San Francisco.
The work is part of a reckoning with the weight of the 'hyperobjects' that shape both our molecular connection and intellectual disconnection with the more-than-human world. Climate; the carbon and nitrogen cycles; the connectivity between the small gesture of the personal, the devastation of extractive industry and the greater natural world. The show is comprised of anxious artworks that stem from both the beauty and apprehension of our moment.
Large cut paper drawings, densely populated with botanical specimens, snarls of vines and intermingled grids are richly colored with ink and photographic collage elements. Buried in the intricately cut forms are a myriad of silhouettes and images including geologic specimens, the smoke from wildfires, maps, animals, oil rigs, marble from historic mansions, gold and tropical forests.
