Happy to have this video projection, Extinct in the Wild - featuring artist Natori Greene as a model and the Angel’s Trumpet plant - in a show of the same name at the Huntsville Museum of Art, alongside the work of so many great artists and a favorite elder, William Christenberry.
The show is of work in the HMA permanent collection (Extinct in the Wild video is in their collection!) and, in the words of curator Natalie Mault, “traces changing perspectives on the natural world, from historic American art through works by living contemporary artists. We organized it into four sections: Idealized Nature: Humanity’s Vision of Paradise; The Botanist’s Gaze; Consequences: Climate and Catastrophe; and Nature Reclaimed: A New Relationship.”
Only 3 more days to see it- if you are near Huntsville!

The meadow received so much love yesterday thanks to @civicstudio.coop , amazing volunteers from @lmngno who weeded and collected tons of seed, “Wonder Wander” creator @shattucks1 , and a donation of inland sea oats from @laurabgipson . Nick’s expert edging provides a super tidy vibe to counter the cacophony inside the meadow’s borders. And y’all just have to trust me when I say that the breeze was just a bit cool, making it a very pleasant evening - thank you!
And a few questions: What bug made that weird webbing on one of the oaks? And is that a hole for a bee? What kind?
