Lordy Rodriguez at the Mills Building

Earth, Air, Fire, Water

February 2 - May 8,

 

The Mills Building is pleased to present Earth, Air, Fire, Water, an exhibition featuring Bay Area artists Francis Baker, Tanja Geis, Hughen/Starkweather, Cynthia Ona Innis, Andrew Owen, Lordy Rodriguez, and Arngunnur Yr. Through photography, drawing, painting, and collage, the artists reflect on climate change by focusing on elemental forces such as earth, air, fire, and water. Using data, direct observation, and materials including sun and soil, their works translate environmental systems into artworks that emphasize accumulation, transformation, and time. The exhibition invites viewers to consider climate change as an ongoing condition embedded in everyday life.
