Entangled: Looking at Landscapes of Interconnection
"Lots of organisms interact. If one makes a map of who interacts with whom, one sees a network. However the fungal networks form physical connections between plants. It is the difference between having twenty acquaintances and having twenty acquaintances with whom one shares a circulatory system."
- Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds and Shape Our Futures
This is a show of landscape paintings reflecting relationships from the small to the large. We are here in the Anthropocene, perched on the edge of the Sixth Extinction we see the cumulative effect of human involvement in the world. Fritjof Capra author of The Web of Life says "Deep ecological awareness recognizes the fundamental interdependence of all phenomena and the fact that, as individuals and societies, we are all embedded in (and ultimately dependent on) the cyclical processes of nature."
How do we visualize these entanglements?
