Orcas Center’s Visual Arts Committee (VAC) is pleased to present featured artist, Robert Dash in the lobby, and a community show of Drawings and Prints in the Madrona Room.
Robert Dash is a science educator and photographer whose work features the complex textures and patterns of micro nature. He has exhibited in museums, magazines, and photography festivals in the US and overseas. Food Planet Future –
UP CLOSE borrows images from his traveling exhibition, which explores Dash’s fascination with how the agricultural system impacts climate and biodiversity. He explains, “Our food choices – what we eat, how it’s grown, and where we get it – hugely impacts the planet, and we all have the ability to make changes to reduce or even reverse those impacts.”
Over the past decade Dash has sought feedback and inspiration from portfolio review sessions sponsored by galleries, museums, publishers, and collectors. Through that process, Dash’s work has centered around a cohesive theme that can be sequenced to tell in-depth stories.
Dash’s recently-published book is titled Food Planet Future: The Art of Turning Food and Climate Perils Into Possibilities (Papadakis Publisher, UK). Author David R. Montgomery wrote that Food Planet Future is “…an amazing visual feast with a terrific message!”
This exhibit will be on display through October 24. For more information visit www.OrcasCenter.org/VAC or email vac@OrcasCenter.org.
