Kirsten Taylor:

I am a project-based multimedia artist questioning the Western hierarchy that places humans above nature. I do so by investigating the ways in which our lives intersect with plants and animals, and I encourage this investigation in the viewer. I often use materials that have connection to a place such as wild clay, native plants, or materials with historical significance like barbed wire. My projects focus on topics, such as habitat restoration, mapping and creating trails, loss of ecological knowledge, and human constructs of wilderness. I make work to promote awareness of landscape, more-than-human life, and the interconnectedness of nature.
