Art and gardening has taken me on several paths in my life and it always leads to community. This is from a group exhibition in 2021.

Be Thankful

Glazed in beguiling dark humor, this taxidermy sculpture has a serious message that rings even more true today than it did when I originally made the piece ten years ago. As most of you likely have heard, the population of Earth just reached 8 billion. In the span of a mere decade since this sculpture was created, an additional billion humans now live on the planet. Below is the statement that accompanied this sculpture the first time it was exhibited in 2014 in a themed exhibition titled Fruitful and Multiplying – The Overpopulation Exhibit. So much for progress.

___________________________________________

TITLE: Turducken à la Monsanto MATERIALS: Domestic duck, turkey, and rooster skins

“This piece is a commentary on the absurdity and entitlement of gourmet foods, the privilege of being able to allocate food for the purpose of art, and the disconcerting technology of interspecies grafting performed by the bioengineering industry. The strain on our planet's resources has become immense as the population of Earth crests 7 billion. With a tipping point looming, genetic engineers are creating hybrid species of livestock and crops designed to produce the highest yield possible while using the least amount of resources. The reality is many developing countries do not have the means to utilize this controversial technology and only an elite portion of the Earth's population will profit from these so-called advances. We live in a country rich in all resources. It enables us to use food towards a myriad of frivolous ends, including our entertainment. We create designer cuisine that is more about status than it is about sustenance, and we feed human quality food to our pets. While we enjoy our luxury foods, for much of the world just having food is a luxury.” ~

ahhhhh! my whale shark came in! :D :D :D

is so cuuuuute! okay so. STORY TIME

this whale shark is made from flip-flops pulled out of the ocean in Kenya. the company, Ocean Sole, pays locals to collect the shoes from the beaches and rivers, then employs artisans from the area to carve them into cool animals and stuff! then they use the profits to help collect more shoes! AND they use the scraps to stuff mattresses for refugee camps!

AND have i mentioned this guy IS THE CUTEST!?!?!

you can buy stuff in their shop here. and you can watch a video of how they make the stuff below. V

overall: ten stars would buy again! :D

(also thank you to my little bro for the the late Christmas pressie!)

Contemporary art plays a critical role in addressing pressing issues such as the climate crisis, creating paths to upend traditional ways of thinking about our relationship with nature and non-human life. The artists in the publication entitled “The world to come : art in the age of the Anthropocene” make people see the world in a new way. They “engage, contest, and reveal the makings of challenges including colonialism, capitalism, technology, population growth, inequality, displacement, and issues of law, violence, and social justice.” (Page 5, Kerry Oliver-Smith).

This is one of the publications we would recommend for the world leaders at the United Nation’s Climate Change Conference COP27, which began this week.

Figured I'd share this digital Mural I did for my Ecoart class recently about successful activism efforts; the idea was to collect articles that show the less depressing side of environmentalism to inspire hope for activism!

I made two versions, one with the relevant titles and one without so you can see my art and have the context too. You can read the articles listed under the cut!

Give a gift of galactic proportions. Art.

All work 10% now through December 24th

“Captain’s log, stardate 12.17.2023. Space… the final frontier… These are the voyages of rogue taxidermy. My 25-year-old mission: to explore strange new works. To seek out new life via new amalgamations. To boldly go where no man has gone before”

#FemaleTaxidermist #ExperimentalTaxidermy #OutOfThisWorldTaxidermy

TITLE: You Have a Wonderful Future Behind You MATERIALS: Tanned and dehaired squirrel hide covered with schlagmetal (body), recycled platinum mink remnants (tail), mirrored stainless steel marbles (eyes), nickel-plated bank pins (rivets), antique jewelry box feet, vintage Swarovski cut crystal acorn, deco-style black lacquer wood plinth, artificial turf

One of my taxidermy sculptures that recently landed at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa. The theme for this particular exhibition was “Area 51”. I enjoy the challenge of coming up with concepts that fit into themed shows and one pushed taxidermy to the outer limits. This piece was inspired by a theory that suggests extraterrestrials are time traveling humans from Earth’s future. No one can predict the future, but there are inevitabilities in the foreseeable. More flora and fauna will go extinct. Technology will increasingly replace organic processes. Our world will slowly fill up with artificially created plants. Artificially created animals. Artificial environments. Artificial intelligence. Artificial everything. After we are gone, there will only be monuments to what once was. This piece is intended not only to evoke the feeling of a monument, but also to mimic a trophy; a satirical award for our stellar stewardship of the planet.

Outdoor landscape installation at Jim Felice Studio in Bethel, CT.

Climb up and up and up into the woods on some ancient stairs and find a large ring structure in the woods and a moss covered figure.

I feel grateful to share the following announcement from curator Ruth Tabancay who has invited my works along with other four established Eco artists from the Bay Area. Mercury 20 Gallery is pleased to present THE NATURAL OTHER, an earth month group show featuring visiting artists: Salma Arastu, Alicia Escott, Julia Feldman, Linda Gass, and Amy Hibbs. March 31 - May 6, 2023 Artists Reception: Saturday, April 15, 4 - 6pm Gallery hours: Friday and Saturday from 12 to 5pm, and by appointment. Oakland Art Murmur: April 7 and May 5, 5 – 9 pm. THE NATURAL OTHER Curated by Ruth Tabancay In honor of Earth Day, April 22, Mercury 20 Gallery member Ruth Tabancay curated a show of artwork that fits into the premise, The Natural Other. The work in this show falls along a continuum with “What would happen without human intervention?” at one end and “With human intervention, what is the extent of disruption to a particular earth system and can we fix it?” at the other. Whether impacted or not, to what end will natural history evolve? The selected artists depict an intimate relationship with the earth through a variety of concepts. #ecoart #ecoartists #myceliummagic #mycelialflow #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #salmaarastu https://www.instagram.com/p/CqlQOAqJZGO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
