For It was Evening all Afternoon, I researched the 625 species currently on the CT list of Endangered, Threatened and Special Concern. I devised an idiosyncratic visual metaphor for each taxonomic classification. Reptiles are represented by paintings stored in liquid-filled specimen jars; plant species by a 1” watercolor strip on a 332” Kozo scroll; insect paintings are pinned inside and outside of glassine envelopes. Conservation status is visible in a system for each taxonomic class. Included in the exhibition is a Zine with information on endangered species, along with specific directions and measures to fight species decline.
