Why Art and Science?

Wild Observations at Archbold Biological Station

Triggering deeper thoughts about our relationship to the environment, this special Zoom presentation of Deborah Mitchell’s Wild Observations will prompt discussions about adaptation, migration, resiliency, extinction, climate change and the management of our wild places. We hope to use this discussion as a two-way interaction where art and science inform, improve, and enhance one another.

Deborah Mitchell’s new series of exhibitions are primarily based on field station visits, mapping changes in American wildlife corridors. Wild Observations consists of Mitchell’s photo-based collages, drawings and paintings that draw largely on biological data about our changing environment and demonstrate the connections between living things and why they matter.
