DESCRIPTION:Reception May 5, 5:30-7pm; Show dates: March 1 - May 31, Tu-Fr, 
 2-6pm\n\nVisual Aid presents an exhibition of works by four artists who 
 examine the relationship between invented, mysterious or unknown living 
 organisms with each other and their surroundings, within ecosystems. 
 Ecosystems sustain every life-supporting function on the planet, including 
 climate regulation, food, medicines and other natural features of 
 historical, spiritual and scientific value. According to Wikipedia, 
 ecosystems are adaptive systems where the interaction of life processes 
 form self-organizing patterns across different scales of time and space.\n 
 \nIn Burp, Jeff Shipley used various natural fibers, feathers, bark, twine 
 and wire in a flowing installation that is a Zen-like meditation on birth, 
 death and decay. Joel Hoyer's Exoskeletal Landscape paintings whose 
 surfaces resemble ebonized animal hides are fictitious, topographical 
 representations of slip faults, such as the San Andreas. Mark Paron's 
 Fragile Flowers are inspired by microbiotic, organic, and synthetic 
 objects, germs, food and other things we come in contact with in everyday 
 life. Gary Weiss' Morphohedron is an open cube formed by a complex 
 framework of lichen, pods and branches, whose interior suggests a 
 fantastical world of natural serenity.\n \nThis exhibition was curated in 
 collaboration with Gary Weiss and Jeff Shipley of IXIA, a renowned San 
 Francisco floral design firm known for natural installations and surreal 
 window displays. \n\nFor more about IXIA, visit http://www.ixia.com.\n
