Jane Kidd: Curious

Jane Kidd, "Curiouser and Curiouser 2," 2015
In Curious, Jane Kidd explores the human/nature relationship through woven tapestry. The included works from her Curiosities and Wonderland series draw attention to pertinent contemporary issues, such as genetically modified and engineered organisms and the destruction of the environment. Kidd’s scrolls, Curiouser and Curiouser (quoting from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland), present images of germinating seeds and aerial views of planted crops, along with alpha-numeric codes for GMO seeds. Imagery joining human, animal, and mechanical elements further complicates these considerations and asks: Will what we create solve our problems, or create new ones?
