'Solidago Series' 2020 (Land Art Installations using Goldenrod Stalks) Ned Carlson, Ithaca, New York, USA Ithaca, NY’s The Q Gallery’s “complex” Special Collection Ned Carlson's main artistic focus is on Land and Environmental Art. He utilizes found natural materials to create site specific installations. These installations are documented through carefully composed video and photography, and are exceedingly ephemeral, often destroyed by the wind or water directly following completion. Ned's pieces not only play with concepts of light, dark, and color; they also address pressing environmental issues such as climate change, environmental degradation, and invasive species.  Using materials that are often overlooked such as eroded stone, fungus infected maple leaves, or invasive reeds, Ned highlights the reality of issues that are not always concretely recognized in local and regional ecosystems. He also likes to work in liminal ecotones that are so prevalent in an over-cultivated and increasingly sprawling society. With his art, he aims to tackle large issues and push viewers to actually look at the world around them, and to find the exceptional in the mundane. In the time of COVID-19, this work is more relevant than ever, as we need to cherish and recognize that which we take for granted, especially people and the natural world around us.
