Artist Statement for Susan Gertz
|
|
|
My formal education is as a biologist, with an emphasis in evolutionary ecology. One of my most vivid life experiences was learning at age 12 that the atoms within our bodies have been recycled for eons from stardust, dinosaurs, everything, and will continue to do so for untold time after we die. I was drawn to science, especially evolutionary biology, out of a deep sense of kinship and respect for all the life with which we share our planet—especially life that is tiny, slow, slimy, or strange. A strong connection with my Jewish heritage also speaks to my sense of a sacred Earth, or “admat kodesh,” meaning holy ground in Hebrew. My artwork emerges from these experiences and feelings.
