Show and tale

The Sitka Center for Art and Ecology is continuing to throw open the virtual doors and share the work being produced by its resident artists and scientists, inspired by the trees and wildlife on Cascade Head just north of Lincoln City

The next Resident Show & Tell, held via Zoom at 4 pm on Thursday, Jan. 21, will feature: 

• Ayla Gizlice, a Turkish-American artist who works primarily in mixed media sculpture and installation. She often works with materials found and collected from her local environment and is interested in the ecological proposition that this labor poses.

• Danielle Klebes has exhibited at notable galleries and museums across the United States and in Canada. Her current body of work explores and disrupts ideas of social expectations and gender norms by presenting queer bodies in utopic settings.

• Emily Jane Davis is a social scientist who analyzes natural resource collaboration, wildfire, public lands policy and rural community development.

• Janet Morrison is Professor of Biology at the College of New Jersey, where she conducts plant ecology research with undergraduate students, teaches ecology and botany courses and has served as department chair and in other leadership roles. Her scientific research program aims to understand how interactions between species drive the structure of ecological communities, particularly within human-transformed, urbanizing landscapes.

• Paul Bourdeau is a marine ecologist and an associate professor at Humboldt State University. He and his students study how coastal marine organisms interact with their environment and respond to changing environmental conditions, particularly those brought about by human activities, combining field observations, manipulative laboratory and field experiments and quantitative syntheses of published research.
