'Excerpts from the Natural World' features artists who use nature in imaginative ways as source material. Mari Andrews and Esther Traugot combine natural and fabricated objects to create delicate sculptures and installations, and Sarah Hinckley combines images from landscapes to create meditative drawings and paintings. The work encourages a dialogue not only about the natural world and its survival, but also more pointedly, about man’s instinctual and competing tendencies to both nurture and control nature.
