2012 Katerina Lanfranco: Natural SelectionDescription
Lanfranco’s work explores various concepts of nature, specifically the symbology of trees, from various cultural perspectives. Trees in particular, are fertile sites for a nation state’s imagination and identification, and she plays with the idea of dramatic changes of scale; capturing the moments of awe in front of incomprehensive vistas, and private intimate moments of wonder at complex or simple forms in nature.
The exhibition includes a large-scale, handcut paper, site-specific installation. The large room construction will be made on site, and in response to the Sesnon Gallery architecture, surrounding landscape and will be produced in collaboration with UCSC art students.
