Collaborating on the Big Heart project with is a way for me to use my art and science background as a means to support a local organization. For the actual art I am using the “landscape equation” as a means to both share and show how the different prices of place interact together. Where L=A+B+C.
L= Landscape…. In this case lands that are apart of the Payette Land Trust. A=Abiotic or non-living… this can be geologic features or disturbances. I am using pigment collected on the land to make paint for this project. B=Biotic or living. For this I am represent four different ecosystems and the species who live there through the actual painting. C=Cultural/Community or how humans interact with the land. For this we start to think about our connection to place and how we interact with the land around us. Stay tuned for the painting and reveal of the ❤️.
