"We are leaving many vulnerable species and habitats frantic, facing disruptions and uncertain outcomes," says Oakland based artist Crystal Morey. Featured on our blog, her ceramic sculptures of people wearing animal skins express her personal connection to nature- and our strained relationship to it. "In my work, I investigate these actions while also creating an evocative and mysterious narrative that shows our interdependence with the land and animals around us." Morey's upcoming exhibition "At the Edge of Time" at Antler Gallery in Portland will debut a new series of small eagle, bear, and deer-headed figure, portrayed completely absorbed in some secret conference.
