Carbon / Element

Flash Gallery at Light Art Space
Exhibition Dates: October 10 – November 9th, 2024
Reception Friday October 11th
This exhibition aims to build connections between human-caused global warming and increased wildfire intensity. Photographs of the New Mexico landscape impacted by wildfire are presented as intaglio prints made from carbon-based ink. This ink, manufactured from charcoal collected from areas depicted in the photographs, acts as an element of continuity between the print, the fires, and the warming climate. This association between subject and materials emphasizes the relationship between our collective actions and the welfare of our environment.
