Emily Berger
November 2021’s art show, by featured artists Sam Guzzie & Hannah Fairweather.
Field Notes is an exploration of the human experience by way of the natural world. This continuing series poses a personal discovery of this relationship, in a collaboration of individual expression between two artists’ perspectives.
The teetering balances in nature respond to cycles of death and again in rebirth throughout our lives and our constant surroundings. Field Notes is a reflection of connectivity in a surreal & vulnerable language; the symbolic wisdom of flora. We explore the recall of moments & patterns of human emotion and the balance between connection points, within our world & ourselves.
