“My work is a multimedia exploration and re-presentation of the natural world. Investigating our perceptions, valuations and representations, I examine both natural and crafted objects, alongside their relationships between one another.

Through a material fusion, shaping and transformation into natural symbols, I reference the sublime by using scale and spatial distortions. I’m emphasizing a visceral relationship to flowers, fungi, insects, nautical beings and other unseen creatures through constructed mixed-media forms. Expressively organic and dynamic, each work is animated by its contoured shape and environmental relationships. Visual presence, economic cycles, evolution and attraction are themes I hybridize in order to realize an active engagement with nature.

My work aims to foster empathy and elevate awareness of our interconnected web, spotlighting how our worlds intertwine.” — Trevor Coopersmith
