"In my work, I explore new relationships between humans and nature. I visually create new ways of linking the two worlds by using forms that evoke the plant or animal world, then placing them in a "human" context. My pieces seem to grow out of gallery floors or walls, infecting and infesting an otherwise sterile human environment. Some of the biomorphic forms are combined in eccentric hybrids with detritus from human culture. Others straddle the line between plant and animal. All link disparate elements in some way. Even my process is a form of linking. Crocheting, sewing, and weaving are activities that bring together separate components, in the act of creating a new whole. I use these techniques as metaphors for the re-connection of nature and culture." - Gail Wagner
