Pippin Frisbie-Calder
“I make large scale, graphic and colorful representations of the Gulf South, to engage audiences with stories of land loss and stewardship. I try to surprise the viewer with the beauty of the swamp in order to tell visual stories of climate change, environmental loss, and to connect audiences to ecosystems we still have, but might lose.
The work I am happiest with always finds a balance between printmaking, ecology and draftsmanship, unifying to tell big picture stories about humanity's complicated relationship with nature.” - Frisbie-Calder
