Art and gardening has taken me on several paths in my life and it always leads to community. This is from a group exhibition in 2021.

Be Thankful

Glazed in beguiling dark humor, this taxidermy sculpture has a serious message that rings even more true today than it did when I originally made the piece ten years ago. As most of you likely have heard, the population of Earth just reached 8 billion. In the span of a mere decade since this sculpture was created, an additional billion humans now live on the planet. Below is the statement that accompanied this sculpture the first time it was exhibited in 2014 in a themed exhibition titled Fruitful and Multiplying – The Overpopulation Exhibit. So much for progress.

TITLE: Turducken à la Monsanto MATERIALS: Domestic duck, turkey, and rooster skins

“This piece is a commentary on the absurdity and entitlement of gourmet foods, the privilege of being able to allocate food for the purpose of art, and the disconcerting technology of interspecies grafting performed by the bioengineering industry. The strain on our planet's resources has become immense as the population of Earth crests 7 billion. With a tipping point looming, genetic engineers are creating hybrid species of livestock and crops designed to produce the highest yield possible while using the least amount of resources. The reality is many developing countries do not have the means to utilize this controversial technology and only an elite portion of the Earth's population will profit from these so-called advances. We live in a country rich in all resources. It enables us to use food towards a myriad of frivolous ends, including our entertainment. We create designer cuisine that is more about status than it is about sustenance, and we feed human quality food to our pets. While we enjoy our luxury foods, for much of the world just having food is a luxury.” ~

If your brain is perceiving this image as a 'fish out of water' scenario, or - to be more accurate - a 'bird out of atmosphere' scenario, then you already have a good sense of what @traciemacveanartwork is trying to accomplish. We all know that Australian Barn Owls don't find the cosmos to be particularly hospitable, but then again, planet earth has become increasingly difficult for them to adapt to. While Tracie's supernatural/alien-esque painting delivers a dramatic visual impact, she's hoping that we'll also take a moment to read between the lines. Feathered creatures that are regularly displaced from their traditional stomping grounds could really benefit from a lot more human allies ♡❤♡ ARTWORK DETAILS Title: “Nocturnal Enlightenment" Artist: Tracie MacVean (@traciemacveanartwork) Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 40 cm x 30 cm 👉https://traciemacvean.com.au/ 👉https://www.facebook.com/TracieMacVeanArtwork 👉https://www.instagram.com/traciemacveanartwork ••• #beautifulbizarre #traciemacvean #painting #wildlifeart #birdart #ecoart https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxPxVqLH1e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ahhhhh! my whale shark came in! :D :D :D

is so cuuuuute! okay so. STORY TIME

this whale shark is made from flip-flops pulled out of the ocean in Kenya. the company, Ocean Sole, pays locals to collect the shoes from the beaches and rivers, then employs artisans from the area to carve them into cool animals and stuff! then they use the profits to help collect more shoes! AND they use the scraps to stuff mattresses for refugee camps!

AND have i mentioned this guy IS THE CUTEST!?!?!

you can buy stuff in their shop here. and you can watch a video of how they make the stuff below. V

overall: ten stars would buy again! :D

(also thank you to my little bro for the the late Christmas pressie!)

I feel grateful to share the following announcement from curator Ruth Tabancay who has invited my works along with other four established Eco artists from the Bay Area. Mercury 20 Gallery is pleased to present THE NATURAL OTHER, an earth month group show featuring visiting artists: Salma Arastu, Alicia Escott, Julia Feldman, Linda Gass, and Amy Hibbs. March 31 - May 6, 2023 Artists Reception: Saturday, April 15, 4 - 6pm Gallery hours: Friday and Saturday from 12 to 5pm, and by appointment. Oakland Art Murmur: April 7 and May 5, 5 – 9 pm. THE NATURAL OTHER Curated by Ruth Tabancay In honor of Earth Day, April 22, Mercury 20 Gallery member Ruth Tabancay curated a show of artwork that fits into the premise, The Natural Other. The work in this show falls along a continuum with “What would happen without human intervention?” at one end and “With human intervention, what is the extent of disruption to a particular earth system and can we fix it?” at the other. Whether impacted or not, to what end will natural history evolve? The selected artists depict an intimate relationship with the earth through a variety of concepts. #ecoart #ecoartists #myceliummagic #mycelialflow #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #salmaarastu https://www.instagram.com/p/CqlQOAqJZGO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nowe Obrazy w Cyklu "Chloe – Podróż w Czasie i Przestrzeni"

Cykl “Chloe – Podróż w Czasie i Przestrzeni” to kontynuacja mojej eksploracji surrealistycznych wizji, łączących metafizykę, symbolikę i refleksję nad światem. Najnowsze obrazy z tej serii: „Chloe Tańcząca,” „Aidos” oraz „Metamorfoza Izydy i Demeter” oraz “Temida” wnoszą nowe perspektywy i głębię do cyklu, jednocześnie zapraszając widza do rozważań nad czasem, przestrzenią i ludzką…
