Artist: PLANET EARTH
\nBorn: 4.57 billion B.C., MILKY WAY GALAXY
\nPlace of Study: SELF-TAUGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Biography <\/strong><\/p>\n

Earth began birthing in the Milky Way approximately 4.57 billions years ago. Earth has been a practicing artist all her life, concentrating on beauty and devastation within nature.<\/p>\n

After her latest and most famous ice installation she began to explore expression through a multitude of life media. Quite recently this has included the species homo sapiens<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the last c. 200 years a particular aspect of this project, homo industrialis destructivensis<\/em>, has become increasingly separated from her other work.<\/p>\n

In this short time there have been dramatic changes in her art, which seem to reflect her increasing ill health. In particular, technological advances have gone hand in hand with climate disruption and pollution. These rapid new departures are reshaping her current work in profound ways, and even limiting the diversity of her creative expression. (She is losing 75 species per day, perhaps more).<\/p>\n

One wonders whether this particular phase is coming to an end, as homo industrialis destructivensis is dominating Earth\u2019s artistic endeavors and threatening her creative spirit.<\/p>\n

Or will radical changes bring that part of her expression back into balance?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
