Catalogue Note

“An understanding of ecology—the interrelationship of all forms of life in their diverse environments—is essential to the survival of the planet…An important new art movement has emerged to reestablish a vital link to nature by communicating an experience of its life-generating powers.” Barbara Matilsky in Fragile Ecologies: Contemporary Artists Interpretations and Solutions, New York, 1992, p. 3
