从植物绘画到真菌雕塑, for centuries artists have looked to the biological realm for inspiration and materials. Mutualism is a term used in biology to describe a relationship between two living organisms that both benefit from one another. 抽象地说, 艺术与自然的互惠关系可以理解为一种互惠主义. The four contemporary artists in this exhibition each demonstrate how their relationship to nature has shaped their art practice.   

安吉Follensbee-Hall uses 纸 pulp and found materials to create richly textured sculptures that reference botanical forms. 克里圣. 劳伦特把微生物学作为她的跳板, often incorporating cellular structures and other microscopic elements as a point of departure for her multi-media work. 希瑟斯登 explores the human form in found-object assemblages that reference the body’s respiratory system. Jon Krasner works across media to interrogate natural systems and translates them in art that celebrates the complexity of nature and biology. 每个艺术家都以自己的方式拥抱自然世界作为灵感的源泉, 这样做的时候, 提醒观众自然资源的珍贵, 生命的脆弱，发现的奇迹和喜悦.

关于艺术家 

安吉Follensbee-Hall 

我的父母都是艺术家，虽然不是直接的艺术家. 来自我母亲, 我学会了在日常生活中充满激情地创造, 烹饪, 和家政, 在艺术和精神追求上. From my father I found a love of nature, especially the woodlands of Vermont and New Hampshire. 

My artistic inspiration comes from the world of nature: the wisp of grass swaying in a winter wind, 或是春天里寻找阳光养分的小嫩芽. 在每一次创造中, 我唤起了对神话世界的沉思, 故事, 与自然, 暗示了所有生物在源头上的联系. 

我喜欢做艺术家的一切:无尽的想法和灵感, 凌乱的艺术工作室, 建筑艺术, 创造艺术, 展示艺术. I have exhibited and sold many works of art over my career, nationally and internationally. 我的主要媒介是手工纸. For nearly 20 years I have explored the art of hand 纸making from both pre-processed and raw plant fibers. 我的艺术过程总是在不断发展，因为我找到了新的灵感来源. 

我变换了许多混合的媒体来源——绳索, 纸, 油漆, 还有植物药，灵感来自大自然. 长期以来，我一直受到世界神话、宗教和经典寓言的启发. 我对所有人类的共同故事和原型象征感兴趣. 这些故事中的意象经常出现在我的纸上创作中. 在我的工作中, 我试图描述人与人之间的关系, 地球, 和天堂在一个直观的感觉体验 

约翰Krasner  

I spent my childhood years in Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts and completed my undergraduate education at Muhlenberg College as an art major with a liberal arts foundation. I received a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1990 from Pratt Institute with a concentration in 油漆ing and a minor in art hi故事, 1994年, 获得第二个M.F.A. in graphic design from Boston University, focusing on 数码影像 and motion graphics.  

My multi-disciplinary work as an artist and designer allows me to combine the disciplines of 油漆ing, 数码影像, 动画, 音乐创作. 这种融合是我教学和实践的一个特点. 最近的混合媒体组合, 数字蒙太奇, 而短片则将原创音乐和动画结合在一起，让人身临其境, 基于时间的旅程. My assemblages demonstrate an intuitive process of manipulating and combining found materials to convey the incandescent beauty of the coast—specifically, 自然元素和合成元素的共存. The processes of digital manipulation and montage allow me to further explore the changing properties of light, color, 研究数学和自然之间的共生关系. 

克里圣. 劳伦特 is a visual artist from Western Massachusetts who lingers in the spaces between realism and abstraction, 混乱和细致的细节.  对生活充满好奇，对死亡漫不经心, 她的混合媒介作品参考了自然, 映射, 微生物学, 架构和内存, 解构主观镜头，将无常呈现为大一统. She has recently focused on response work and collaboration with artists of different mediums, 特别是作家和音乐家. Her work has been exhibited locally and nationally and she has served as Artist-in-Residence at Hot Springs and Isle Royale National Parks. 她在西新英格兰大学教授各种视觉艺术课程. 

克里获得了马萨诸塞大学的文学学士学位, 阿默斯特(2004), 获得哈特福德大学文学硕士学位(2006年), 都专注于绘画. 对行政管理和教育学有更广泛的了解, she completed her EdD with a concentration in higher and postsecondary education in 2017. Her doctoral research investigated technology integration and transferable skills-building in introductory studio art curricula for non-majors. 

希瑟斯登 

我是一个积极的梦想家，当我每天醒来的时候, 我得想办法再次与地球相连. 我用拼贴艺术来处理我的人类经验. 

我的目标是升级回收 & reuse as much as possible and saving items from the landfill is a big motivation for me. 我的艺术材料是由庭院拍卖的物品组成的, 旧货店, 二手家居维修店, 还有那些在被扔掉之前送给我的礼物. 我不自定义打印任何图像，只使用我发现创造新的艺术作品. I rely on the energy of the universe to dictate the images/words I find and am inspired to create works that invoke a range of emotions.  

Each work of art is original and unique – I do not copy or reprint any of my completed works.
