“Humans seem fundamentally alienated from our actions on an ecological level. Ecological thinking has become a bit of an externality. Understanding our relationship to ecological finiteness can create an unconditional solidarity with nonhumans.” – 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.
