The artists of CREATIVE HABITATS

Spring 2020 - Spring 2021

 
 

Lorraine Turi - Last Seen

Last Seen is a collection of photographs that have been taken at the last place a species was seen in the wild before going extinct. The images serve as a memorial. The photographs themselves are data made visible, a visceral connection between the lost species and humanity.

Lorraine Turi’s research into extinct species and photographic documentation, inspired Creative Habitats VIRTUAL ARTSTOP #1. Click on the BUTTON below to go to the Virtual ARTstop page, and watch an instructional video on how to make a LEATHERBACK SEA TURTLE PAPER SCULPTURE.

Adam Wensil - Off Kilter

Adam works in three areas: sculpture (the human figure), wire panels, and whimsy (fun, fast, anything goes).

Gilda House has a dynamic, amazing story about five unique individuals and their loving pets who choose to share life together in the OFF KILTER world of Gilda House. A Pop Art expression, with architecture and furnishings inspired by Corbusier, and rich, Raphaelite colors, Adam constructed Gilda House from items given to him by strangers and friends. It is an art piece, not a dollhouse. The Gilda House IS ADAM.
