Katrina Bello: EXPANSION

"Expan­sion" is a series of works based on a year-long jour­ney of look­ing for and imag­in­ing con­nec­tions between vol­canic activ­i­ty, plate tec­ton­ics, bod­ies of water, cos­mic mate­r­i­al from deep space, and how all togeth­er have led to the soil con­di­tions that allowed for a mas­sive organ­ism at least 9,000 years old to thrive and spread out in an alpine envi­ron­ment. The works are the out­come of a year-long artist res­i­den­cy with Friends of Pando, an orga­ni­za­tion whose founders are work­ing to edu­cate the pub­lic, sup­port research and preser­va­tion efforts, and inspire stew­ard­ship of Pan­do, the world’s largest tree.
