Reclamation is a watercolor and ink piece of mine featured in the Fenner Nature Center’s inaugural art exhibition, Sunrises & Smokestacks.
Sunrises & smokestacks: Deconstructing the divide between urban & wild spaces.” As a nature center situated within Lansing’s city limits, we recognize and appreciate the juxtaposition of these spaces traditionally thought of as separate. For this exhibition, artists are invited to question, explore and challenge the notion that metropolitan and natural elements cannot or do not overlap.
Me next to my piece, Reclamation.
I channeled my love for making comics into this piece, using three “panels” to tell the story of nature slowly reclaiming an urban building.
I’m happy to say, Reclamation sold during the opening reception on December 6, 2019. I’m hoping to do more “three panel story” pieces like this for the 2020 art festival season.
Sunrises & Smokestacks ran inside Fenner Nature Center’s Sue & Jack Davis Pavilion, December 6 2019 – January 5 2020.
