Modified: Ceramic & Mixed Media focusing on Modified Organics

Artist's Reception Sunday August 23rd from 1 to 4pm

Sierra foothills artist Staria Stine will be presenting her work in this solo exhibition addressing the topic of our relationship with Nature and the current issues related to genetically modified organics (GMOs). Working closely with plants and the complex geometric systems found within their structures, this body of work calls attention to the precise, delicate and highly-informed design of edible plants and other organics.

Stine notes: In this body of work I am focusing specifically on the topic of genetically modified organics (GMOs) and how they have been incorporated into our contemporary applications. Genetic modification is a forced process, one that the natural world inevitably rejects, raising question to our ethical responsibilities and pointing to future societal costs. Working closely with plants and the complex geometric systems found within their structures, this body of work calls attention to the precise, delicate and highly-informed design of edible plants and the organics.
