Artist Statement:
How do we make sense of our days during this unfathomable time? Through art, story, and poetry. This piece is a kind of love story about the natural world told through color. By shapeshifting hi-chroma sunny acid-like colors for the usual soothing landscape of a cascading green rainforest, an unsettling and unfathomable remix of our world occurs.

Arlene Tribbia is an artist/poet who works across disciplines experimenting and exploring the boundaries and variations within poetry, drawing, painting, story and sculpture. Drawing is a poem. Every line is a verse. Every color or random mark is a phrase. These lines and gestures gathered create stanzas, stories, drawings and paintings. Stories of hers have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and published widely as well as internationally. Her artwork has been exhibited in unique spaces from dance halls to skyscrapers as well as galleries, including Woman Made in Chicago and the Dunedin Fine Art Center in Florida where Robert Rauschenberg (hero, mentor and influence) also has shown his work.
