Face Nature—a seasonal, experimental practice by artist Madeline Schwartzman—explores local ecology, hybridity, the environmental crisis, and the future of humans.
It brings humans in close proximity to locally foraged plants, with installations on the human body that form uncanny hybrids and present a vehicle for mutual subjectivity. The aim is to create a crack in human awareness, to serve as an antidote to passivity and inaction surrounding the future of nature, and to shift the perceived hierarchy between humans and other forms of nature.
