The Thacher Gallery at the University of San Francisco hosted an exhibition entitled “All That You Touch: Art and Ecology”- which is the beginning of a quotation from Octavia Butler’s The Parable of the Sower. The full quotation is: All that you touch/You change./All that you Change/Changes you./The only lasting truth/Is Change./God/Is Change. The group exhibition featured artists whose creative practices are informed by their personal connections to the natural world, and explored- what can nature teach us about adaptation, regeneration, and healing? The first 4 of these 5 works were created for this exhibition.
