Eve Werner Artist Statement:

The erasure of my childhood home from the anthropogenic 2018 Camp Fire made tangible the consequences of climate change. My most recent work explores the fragility exposed when fine natural balances are disrupted.

I pair materials gathered from within the burn scar with forms and methods that suggest funerary and memorialization practices to challenge the rationality of proceeding as if we can infinitely exploit our finite planet.
