Swarm Gallery’s Environmental Art Puts Your Head in a Box
By Jared Newman
Over the weekend, San Francisco’s Swarm Gallery held an art show with some interesting takes on the environment and man’s interaction with it. Rather than tackle the message head-on, artists tried some more abstract concepts, such as the head-in-a-box-of-plants installation by Seattle-based Vaughn Bell. After all, city life can take you away from the lush greenery that’s so plentiful in suburban and rural areas, so why not have a tiny space where you can be surrounded by all things natural? Other works include paintings by Josh Keyes, including one image of a deer, with various other animals perched on top, standing in an aquarium with a fire hydrant.
