DESCRIPTION
Ecology is the study of organisms and how they interact with the environment around them.
How does art express this relationship?
Does art put viewers in touch with the natural world and their relationship to it?
Does art address the hopes and fears, realities and fantasies of planet earth and its organisms’ survival and adaptability?
We look forward to seeing how this art community responds.

ABOUT THE JUROR:
Obi Kaufmann, Author, Artist & Ecological Philosopher
In the award winning and best-selling field atlases of Obi Kaufmann, science and art blend to illuminate the multifaceted array of California’s natural world, forming a uniquely elemental narrative based on the shaping forces of earth, air, fire, and water, connecting systems like no other series of books has done before.
In his artful yet analytical books, Obi Kaufmann explores the transformation of California’s resource landscape from its ancient origins through its modern challenges to its future possibilities. In his lively presentations which feature paintings, hand-drawn maps, and other data, Obi presents the story of how we learn from the deep past to uncover the truth about all possible futures. Through the parsing of what he calls Ecological Philosophy, Obi employs literature and poetry, the history of the physical sciences, and indigenous-traditional ecological knowledge to present the rhetorical and epistemological theories of Consilience (the marriage of science and art), Aesthetics (the transmission of meaning through media), and Complexity (the functional description of emergent phenomena).
