Jannah Atkins
Artist Statement
I keep my feet rooted to the Earth by walking and interacting with forests, wetlands and urban habitats I build to stay grounded. From this, I interweave many ecological threads of overlooked and or hidden details throughout my work to celebrate the connectivity between living species.
Emphasizing these connections, I use diverse materials and approaches to create portraits celebrating the spirits of animal and plant life I encounter or research. Fueled by ecological curiosities, expressions in my work fluctuate between my love of nature and ecosystems in crisis.
My artist practice is situated between two realities. One is a pristine ecology teeming with protected biodiversity and the other is an ecology of loss, massive firestorms, and monocropping represented by the white ghosts of the missing.
Fragmented between two kinds of ecology, portraits presented throughout my work ground my research and making process and speak to the loss of habitat and missing spirits of the wild.
