In the works of the New York artist Kathleen Vance, she deals with issues involving the varied forms in natur that indicative of growth. In an exploration of natural systems of growth, she reinterprets nature to establish and define the context of these systems within our working society, perceiving nature as an enviorment as well as an intanigible concept. By referencing nature directly, its material origin is displaced and reactivated to create an otherwise unlikely encounter, exposing human's dismissal of the natural and their tendency to attempt to control nature. Addressing issues of displacement, the philosophy of what is natural, what forms indicate the natural and how the context affects the meaning and identity of theses forms, she defines the human construct of the bounderies between the natural and the artifical world.
