ELEMENTAL is a group art show that speaks to the subject of water and its soulful impact in our daily lives. The global water cycle has a significant grasp on the hold of human lives and all other species with rhythms that pass through soils, vegetation and rocks before its destination into the atmospheres. Waterways from raindrop to stream-flow transport carbon and nutrients much like the human circulatory system in order to sustain life on this planet. It goes without saying we are vulnerable to the forces of water in complex ways. While water can destroy our built environment if climate ‘changes’ reach peak levels, water can also be one of our elixir’s in life, offering wisdom and endless inspiration. Artists
in Elemental share the ethereal beauty of water and ask us to reflect upon our deep connection to this element of nature. Unusual materials and whimsical forms in their varying creative practices force the viewer to contemplate colors, textures, and emotions of imaginal waterscapes, and to evoke the connection between them through the balance between harmony and disharmonies, structure and chaos and the dance between light and shadow.
