EARTH MATTER 3 FEBRUARY – 23 MARCH 2024 Penny Evans, Kay Lee Williams, Kat Shapiro Wood, Lae Oldmeadow, Betty Russ, and Charlotte Haywood This exhibition brings together the work of artists who use materials and processes from the natural world to create work exploring a range of ideas, from reflection on the beauty and logic of the natural world to more direct activism. Materiality and reflection on nature are intrinsically connected to their intended meaning in all the works. The materiality of the works in Earth Matter embodies a message and a set of ethics that highlights or, in some cases, brings into question our relationship with the natural world. They are a reminder to appreciate the inherent beauty of the globe we inhabit and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
