About the Artwork:
“I like using the static nature of images to portray a point in the progression of humanity’s ecological awareness. Our ecological awareness seems to be stuck between our ancient ties to nonhumans and the immediacy of ecological collapse.” – Collin Elder
About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
I began drawing and painting while pursuing a career in ecological restoration in Western Canada. Along with a degree in wildlife biology, working in environmental conservation has focused my artwork on how we are phenomenologically tied to the biosphere and how that shapes our current ecological awareness, our relationship to the past, and our connections to nonhumans.
