What: Jane will talk about the influences of water on her work and her research into “marine debris” which forms the subject of her upcoming artwork.
Who: Jane James is currently living and working in Australia, and received her degree in Fine Art from the University of Tasmania. She has had a lifelong involvement with the sea and marine conservation. Years both in and under the sea have led to her fascination with water in all its aspects. Jane will share her work via a power point presentation using images she has taken over the years, as well as her research into marine flotsam and jetsam, especially ropes and plastics, that travel to the shores of Australia from all over the world.
Lori Nix was born in the late 1960’s and raised in the American Midwest. Her early exposure to the destructive powers of Mother Nature and Hollywood dystopian stories fueled her young imagination and has led her to where she is today. For the last 20+ years she has constructed small scale dioramas and photographed them. Beginning with retelling the tall tales of her youth in her Accidentally Kansas series, she has progressed to imagining urban scenes of the apocalypse. Her last series, The City, spanned ten years and imagined a future mysteriously devoid of mankind. Intensely detailed and rich in color, her photos offer up a possible future for modern society.
