NADA Curated by Fitsum Shebeshe

Large clay plaques were created that are mashups of ceramic tropes and styles, cultivating a genteel, little-shop-of-horrors. My work comments on humans' often oppositional relationships with nature. As humans pressure the planet, what happens when the environment pushes back? When decay precipitates regrowth in new and unexpected spaces? Will we, responsible for the climate crisis, unintentionally create a hybridization of flora and fauna as imagined in my sculptures?
