How does art change when nature takes part in its creation?
Natural Connections: Co-creating with Nature explores the dynamic relationship between artists and the natural world, examining what happens when creative control is shared with environmental forces. In these works, nature is not simply a subject but an active collaborator.
Through processes shaped by growth, decay, erosion, weather, and time, the artists in this exhibition embrace improvisation, serendipity, and transformation. Each piece reflects a dialogue between human intention and nature’s intervention, revealing beauty in change, imperfection, and co-authorship with the living world.
