Tori Karpenko: Permaculture Pangeality

Karpenko’s current body of work, Permaculture Pangeality, explores the dynamic between the people who occupy a place and the culture they create in response to their environs.

Permaculture is an approach to designing human settlements and perennial agricultural systems that mimic the relationships found in the natural ecologies. Although this is a relatively new word, the correlation of how people interact intentionally with their environment in order to further their chances of survival is as old as humanity itself.

Pangeality implies the ability to see the world as one meta-culture, from which the stories of diverse civilizations are made available to inform and influence the creation of new culture. The combination of these two words together suggests that we can learn from past examples of how people lived in order to further contemplate our future.

Li Turner: Connections to the Universe
 
Each work in Li Turner's new series combines printmaking and painting. These hybrids depict the unseen connection of space, time, and self; vast yet personal. She employs etchings of the solar system as a foundation upon which she layers a series of watercolors.

With this unconventional format, she connects an array of seemingly unconnected topics: a cowboy contemplating the universe, a set of tightrope walkers spanning the solar system, a cosmic traffic jam, among others.

Each piece combines the finite human condition to the infinite universe; the known to the unknown. With this new series, she challenges us to reach beyond our own personal world, to feel the oneness of ourselves in combination with the mysteries that lie far beyond us, or perhaps deep within us.
