George Lorio’s sculptures are fictive trees, reinterpreting living forms from found wood. Martina Loncar’s cut-paper collages and drawings of trees communicate how trees and humans care for and are connected to one another. Together, Lorio and Loncar examine ecological destruction, interdependency, support, and renewal. It is through our connection to trees that we feel grounded and mortal. Without trees, life as we know it would cease. Taking a walk through a forest is a universal medicine: a way to feel at peace, renewed, and rejuvenated. As a species dependent on them, we are failing the trees -- from over-logging to forest fires that span multiple states. We are connected to them and they are connected to each other with their own communication systems. If only we both spoke the same language, we could share our core strengths and grow.
