Decline and Fall | Marjorie Fedyszyn

Climate based change and the prevalence of invasive species play front and center in this solo exhibition, Decline and Fall at the Redepenning Gallery at Hopkins Center for the Arts. Using handmade abaca paper, Fedyszyn cast a replica of a green ash tree diseased by Emerald Ash Borer to serve as a significant reminder of the poignant physical and emotional loss of trees in our landscape and the vulnerability of this precarious time.
