'All That Glitters' Virtual Reception

Please join us for Philip Hua’s artist talk "All that Glitters,” hosted by MLF Arts/Culture organizer Robert Melton. The artist will discuss the nature of his works as it relates to our natural environment and the economy. His photomontages interweave images of nature celebrated against a backdrop of stock indexes from financial newspapers. The relationship between nature and finance raises questions: What do we value? What do we prioritize? What are willing to sacrifice for one or the other? The artist asserts, “I want viewers to be lured by the beauty of nature and ensnared by the conscience of conservation.”
