Nucleus brings a two person show of illustration work by Teagan White and Nicole Duennebier.
Illustration is a popular vector is Portland art, maybe we have nature's inspiration, long rainy hours and the patiencce for it. Nucleus wins a copywriting award for this desciption.
""Teagan White is an artist and outsider naturalist whose work arises from direct experience with natural phenomena and dedicated communication with the land. Through careful observation and poetic allegory, their paintings explore regional ecological issues such as drought, wildfire, habitat fragmentation, and biodiversity loss, as well as the universal spiritual and psychosomatic burden of our acquiescence to a necrotic, extractivist civilization.
Bleak only at surface level, their work is saturated with the conviction that other, stranger, and more beautiful ways of engaging with the world are not only possible but limitless, and that solutions won’t be found through exclusionary conservation, technocratic fantasies, or neocolonial exploitation, but through a return to devoted kinship with all beings.""
Nicole Duennebier hails all the way from Boston and is inspired by her time in Maine and its relationship with the sea.
