About the Exhibition ...
Nature Unpreserved is Carlie Pearson’s most recent body of work exploring the ideas of nature, man-made, growth, resilience, and death. Pearson creates the works in this exhibition by using various materials including mud, moss, rocks, paper, grass, roots, seeds, and more. These works focus on natural, organic forms, not meant to represent a specific object or idea. As the viewer circles Swift Gallery, Pearson invites the viewer to create their own interpretation of the abstracted forms, as well as to ponder the relationship between nature and art.
