What happens when an artist doesn’t just represent the natural world, but makes it anew, through a creative lens? Lesley Wright, director of 51���app College Museum of Art, gives a virtual tour of the exhibition she curated. The tour explores how five alumni artists work with animals, plants, and environments, crafting them into personal expression and commentary on the human impulse to alter the world around us. The exhibition includes painting, printmaking, sculpture and drawing by artists Fay Stanford ’72, Pamela Crockett ’76, Aaron Rothman ’96, Regan Golden ’00, and John Martin Bell ’08.

Alumna artist Regan Golden ’00 discusses how her drawings and collages in the exhibition, Nature, Made, reflect on natural cycles of growth and decay.

Artist Pamela Crockett ’76 speaks from her home in Baltimore, Maryland, about her painting series, Dance of Decay, featured in the exhibition, Nature, Made.

Alumna artist Fay Stanford ’72 discusses her work in Nature, Made, inspired by “the local fauna of city and suburb, which we mostly ignore, until there’s a problem.”
