The Earth Will Not Abide poses questions about the ecological and social viability of industrial agriculture and extractive land use. The artist projects—spanning video, creative mapping, paintings, and installation—comprise an aesthetic response to these questions. The exhibition attempts to understand the rapid transformations in land use, biological diversity, and social structures wrought by these monocultures and envision how the analytical tools of political ecology allow us to visualize and critique this subject, while also pointing us in the direction of viable responses.
