I Forget I'm Human

In the colorful mixed-media works of “I Forget I’m Human,” Donald and Era Farnsworth investigate and comment upon the relationship between humanity and the environment, drawing from this universal alphabet of symbols, motifs, and color, all invested by their human originators with a distinct meaning or spiritual significance. From ancient gods with the heads of animals to living, breathing endangered species; from the capitalistic fever for accumulated wealth to precious natural resources like clean air and water, what we value is evident not only in our behavior as a species, but in our symbolic and visual output: ie, the myths we make and the images that accompany them.
