About the exhibit: In design there is the practice of biomimicry, where designers create work that is inspired by the natural world. The artists in Bloom work with this principle of biomimicry not to directly copy nature representatively, but by using it as a resource to tackle formal, personal, emotional, and conceptual issues. Whether this is through direct or in-direct observation, the artists in this exhibition create their visual language with an awareness of the natural world and in some cases humans' relationship to it. This exhibition serves as a moment of reflection on the impact of the use, abundant potential, and fragility of the environment.
