McCormack亚洲色吧檚 work often addresses issues of constructed identity and personal development. In 亚洲色吧淥ut of Nature亚洲色吧� she broadens her focus and reflects on the role of the natural world, humankind亚洲色吧檚 influence on it and its ability to affect cultural change.  The exhibition will feature print, painting and sculptural installations on walls and floors dealing with intercultural miscommunication, migration, pattern, reproduction, appropriation and conflict.

The initial inspiration for 亚洲色吧淥ut of Nature亚洲色吧� was a 2015 study published by the University of California, Santa Barbara and Columbia University that drew a connection between climate change and the drought that plagued Syria and the start of the Syrian civil war.  The body of work imagines what would be left behind if a similar combination of natural disruption and cultural change occurred in the United States.

亚洲色吧淥ur daily life full of brightly colored devices, plastic containers and insignificant identifiers all to be objectively analyzed years later,亚洲色吧� she notes in her artist statement.  亚洲色吧淥bjects taken out of context and reimagined into a new narrative.  Patterns suddenly revealed and everything seeming so obvious in hindsight.亚洲色吧�
