Landscapes in the Light of Climate Change | Ryan Ranch + CPA
Course Description:Lens-based artist Debra Achen’s photographic prints, collages and sculptures powerfully reflect the accelerating impacts of climate change. Join us as she shares her award-winning "Folding and Mending" project, in which she hand-folds, tears, burns, and stitches her prints to symbolize both the collapse of the natural world and the healing needed to restore it. Her unique creative process has been deeply shaped by personal experiences with severe drought, wildfires, and atmospheric river events on the Central Coast. Our second session offers a special preopening walkthrough of the Center for Photographic Art’s 2024 Artist Grant Exhibition in Carmel, where Achen’s work will be shown alongside pieces by MarÍa Isabel LeBlanc, Katie Shapiro and Matthew Finley. |
