Diane Washa – Biophilia

Madison artist Diane Washa uses oil paint to interpret the landscape and make it her own. Through direct observation, she creates paintings that are sometimes soft, other times dramatic, but always with the sensitivity of a poet. Washa has been witnessing the landscape long before she began painting it. "We discover why we're passionate about art when memories come on strong or moments of transcendence remind us of what and who first sparked our artist drive." When Washa talks about the locations where she paints, the people she meets along the way become an important part of the story. "Painting in plein air isn't just about creating a piece of art in a beautiful setting. It's the journey of finding that place and the beautiful people I meet along the way."

no. 5: Dinner for Two Leftovers by Connie Noyes

Dinner for Two Leftovers extends Noyes' research into mourning by exploring the visceral responses of bodies and emotions intertwined with loss. Through photography, installation, movement, video, and sound. The artist delves into themes of grief, cultural memory, and both individual and collective healing. What began as a personal inquiry extended to address collective grief related to global warming with a focus on water. Drawing on the Hydrocene theory, which shifts eco-aesthetics to "think as water” rather than merely "about water,” Noyes believes that by sharing grief, we can rediscover our most profound humanity.
