This immersive environment celebrates the beauty and fragility of nearshore ecosystems and evokes the mesmerizing experience of swimming underwater in the forests of the sea.

Bay Area artists, Mari Andrews and Ann Holsberry, expand their deep engagement with nature, exploring the delicate webs that link humanity to the mystery of the natural world. Kindred spirits in their practices, Andrews’ sculptures and Holsberry’s paintings synergize with each other as they both share their inspiration.

This exhibition is a response to a natural world subject to cosmic events as well as tidal and migratory movements. Working in cyanotype allows Ann to directly collaborate with forces of nature by using outdoor sunlight and other natural elements in the exposure.
From Ann’s artist talk, Explorer’s Journey:
“I see myself on an explorer’s journey as I discover new ways of seeing and recording the natural world by using materials and elements endemic to a particular place and time. These unique pieces created in various outdoor locations become records of the passage of time and the fragility of natural ecosystems.”
