Petrichor: the scent of the earth after a warm rain
Lynda Andrews-Barry
Curated by Gaby Mizes
Wednesday, March 29 through Saturday, April 22, 2023
The word “Petrichor” describes the scent of The Earth after a warm rain: it is the essence that reminds us of our deep connection to Our Planet. Petrichor investigates the effects of entropy on our environment by displaying it’s physical vulnerabilitles to underscore the delicate nature of our surrounding ecosystems. Through referencing the natural processes of dissolution, Petrichor reflects aspects of an existence on the edge of potential demise. The possibility of a future with only remnants of The Earth is real. Petrichor predicts the future of our natural world to be a manmade place where fabricated tableaux memorialize the once common but now extinct. The intent of Petrichor is to raise awareness about the impact of our actions on our personal environments and beyond. With the looming reality of the Earth’s imminent collapse, Petrichor encourages conversations that will animate citizens to engage emotionally to internalize an environmental ethic, and ultimately, truly feel the exigencies of our generation.
