UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The HUB-Robeson Galleries will present "Growth Patterns," an exhibition of drawings and sculptural installation by Alyssa Dennis. Admission is free and open to the public.
"Growth Patterns" is on view in the HUB's Art Alley through May 24. Dennis' work combines drawing, sculptural installation and the social/environmental practice of herbalism. In her multidisciplinary practice, she questions who the players are and the means for reclaiming nonhuman kinships as a necessary form of embodiment for reversing cultural and climate upheaval. An artist's reception will be held from 4-6 p.m. April 11 in Art Alley. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak with the artist about her work and process. Light refreshments will be provided.
Dennis is an interdisciplinary artist, earth activist, educator and clinical herbalist. Her art practice centers on conventional forms of building and the convenience that keeps us compartmentalized within a dangerously abstract relationship with nature and our bodies. Dennis' imagery explores the impact of manufactured landscapes on our internal and external ecosystems, shaping our existence with nonhuman life and ourselves.
