Wilsonâ?? > s biophilia hypothesis suggests that humans possess an innate tendency to seek > connections with nature and other forms of life. > In this time of social, environmental and political upheaval, this exhibit will > offer viewers a moment of contemplation and introspection. Art has a unique > ability to help people envision new and innovative ways to observe nature. It > stimulates and raises our environmental awareness by inviting us to consider > our surroundings not so much as a backdrop but rather as a vital part of our > existence. Arousing Biophilia is an exhibit that seeks to evoke deeper > exploration of our natural world, acts of altruism and environmental > stewardship by bringing the wonder of nature and the environment back into > focus.  > The artists in the exhibit are fascinated with exploring, investigating, and > conserving nature. Their artwork explores a variety of topics including life > cycles, entomology, ecosystems, botany, organisms, mycology, biodiversity, and > the relationship between humans and the environment.  The exhibit features > installation, sculpture, glassworks, encaustic, photography, printmaking, and a > variety of other mediums. > > Participating Artists: > Shannon Amidon - where-I-live > Liam Blackwell - Montreal, Canada > Cheryl Coon - San Francisco, CA > Michele Guieu - Sunnyvale, CA > Melinda Hurst Frye - Seattle, WA > Pantea Karimi - where-I-live > Carrie Lederer - Oakland, CA > Cynthia O'Brien - Ottawa, Canada > Michael Pisano - Pittsburgh, PA > Estraven Lupino-Smith - BC, Canada > Demetra Theofanous - San Francisco, CA > Alexis Williams - Richmond, Canada > > â??Supported in part by The Awesome Foundation where-I-live. > We will be exhibiting in conjunction with SoFF Art Walk.
