Group Exhibit at Bluff Strokes Art Center as part of Dubuque Rendezvous!

Opening Reception Friday, June 26 5-8PM with an Artist Talk at 6PM

Addressing the classical elements of earth, air, fire, water as metaphor, but also as embodied actual forces in nature, this exhibit offers an exploration of the relationship between natural elements that give rise to, support and shape life and ecosystems, and how life, in turn, affects the elements. Extending the metaphor, we hope to engender inquiry and insight into how we humans, as beings intertwined in nature, affect natural processes, including our climates. As part of nature, we promote ethics of respect, protection, restoration and sharing of all resources that benefit our human communities and those of others (plants, animals, fungi and microbes) and the homes we share. We wish to engender a sense of awe and wonder; to express gratitude for all that nature provides; to celebrate the ephemeral being-ness we share with all life on this precious planet.
