A gnarled tree floats in a white space, with a nude woman splayed across its branches, with her leaf green hair dangling. A large purple raven hovers over her. Each is part of a group that has been subjugated by notions of human (male) exceptionalism and yet represents ‚ in their entanglement ‚ wisdoms that may enable transformation and survival. My interest is to disrupt a key Western, patriarchal idea of human exceptionalism that continues to ravage all of nature, including the feminine. These surrealist entanglings of species illuminate Earth's multi-dimensional consciousness and a path away from ecological and societal collapse.
