Wendy Sittner finds inspiration in life lessons offered by the natural world, particularly regarding the cycle of decay and regrowth. She examines whether people take from nature a message of hope or a sense of tragedy. Her multidisciplinary practice spans installation, performance, printmaking, painting, and public art. She often reuses discarded materials and incorporates them into newly created works to convey the repetitive nature of the cycle (and re-cycling) of the human experience and the universal ecosystem. Her work invites viewers to reflect on whether they foster growth, or decay, in themselves and in the world we all share with both animate and inanimate beings.
