Where the Wild Things Live
by Kirstie Steiner

The environment is a product of us: man made commodities intertwined with nature creating change on earth, but not a healthier one. Animals make their homes in shoes, displaced boxes, tires in the ocean, even their beds are made out of plastic threads, old clothes, and wire. How much longer can wildlife sustain this?

Cosmic Compost
by Rachel Z. Becker

An experiment in honoring and acknowledging decomposition as an essential process in the continuation of life. Using both organic and manufactured materials that have been gathered, scavenged, and arranged in new contexts, the artworks explore the ephemerality of the material world and the fabric into which it is woven — built to change, and embedded with potential.

Join us for the opening reception on Friday, February 28 from 5-7pm with an artist talk at 5:30pm. The Carbondale Arts Gallery is open weekdays 10am-5pm
