In this collaborative work, miniature diorama artist Shawn Carlin, and painter Jaimee Dunham, explore what it means to be a rainforest. Vast, lush, and untamed. To be alive as an animal or plant. To be the clouds meeting the mountains, the water eroding rock, or the moss covering the forest floor. To be fluid or to be solid. To exist as a part of the whole. This work focuses on the power of these elements and the interdependence between them. The contrasting approaches of medium and scale expand the possible stories that could be told. Stories that regard history and ecology. Stories about exploration and discovery. These two works come together to create a visually immersive piece, and an experience that reminds us that there is always more than meets the eye.
