Description of Pictures: Landscape in an Eroded Field
Carol Barsha, Heather Theresa Clark, Artemis Herber
Curated by Laura Roulet
January 25-March 15, 2020
Landscape in an Eroded Field brings together three women artists whose work reflects the evolution of the pictorial landscape tradition in the Anthropocene era. Carol Barsha’s closely-observed nature studies and flowery landscapes are paired with Artemis Herber’s mythically-themed, architectonic reliefs. These immersive paintings surround a site-specific installation and soundscape designed by Heather Theresa Clark, utilizing her environmental planning background.
Depicting nature and the environment is one of the most ancient and elemental expressions of art. From cave painting to Dutch still lifes to social practice incorporating life forms, artists have always been attentive and responsive to the world around them. This exhibition spans landscape painting that takes no social or political stance to multi-media painting and sculpture that puts climate change at the center of its meaning.
A catalog with essay by curator Laura Roulet will be published in conjunction with this exhibition.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

2. KATLAN_200124_12.JPG: Depicting nature and the environment is one of the most ancient and elemental expressions of artmaking. From prehistoric animals drawn on cave walls, to painted landscapes and still lifes, to social practice incorporating life forms, artists have always been attentive and responsive to the world around them. Landscape in an Eroded Field brings together three women artists whose work reflects the evolution of this pictorial landscape tradition in the Anthropocene era. Carol Barsha's closely-observed nature studies and structured flowerful compositions depict the intimate environment of the domestic garden. Artemis Herber delves into classical Greek mythology to frame her monumental and metaphorical relief paintings, which reflect her concerns about the state of our present-day earth. Heather Theresa Clark is trained in ecology and green building. She combines the tools and materials of the construction industry with analog technology to create an immersive, sensory environment, using sound, water, and wind to foster greater understanding of climate change.
