Natural Blunders
Curated by Karen Kienzle
January 24 - March 20, 2009
Reception: January 24

Artists included in this exhibition take their subjects from the natural world. Like artists throughout history, they find inspiration in the richness, diversity, and symbolic potential of plants and animals. However, the work of these artists showcases a darker side of nature, by highlighting the increasing control exerted by humans, with a particular emphasis on the negative aspects of our interference. The resulting works encourage us to consider our own relationship with the natural world and to ponder the potential implications of our recent explorations into genetic testing and cloning.

Artists in the exhibition include Alastair Bolton, Cheryl Coon, Lauren Davies, Susan Felter, David Hevel, Elisabeth Higgins O’Connor, Misako Inaoka, Ernest Jolly, Michael McConnell, Stephanie Metz, Paul Paiement, Jane Rosen, John Slepian, Kathryn Spence, Tara Tucker, Sarah Wagner, and Gail Wight.
